The Toledo Zoo

The Toledo Zoo is one of the world's most complete zoos--it's one of the region's top family destinations and has over 5,300 animals representing over 760 species.  Each year nearly one million people come to The Toledo Zoo to experience the wonders of the natural world, stroll the beautiful grounds and explore the historic WPA-era buildings.

Visit the Arctic Encounter, the Africa! exhibit, observe hippos and polar bears from an under-water viewing area, and much more! The Toledo Zoo is proud to be at the forefront of many conservation efforts, working to preserve endangered and threatened species--from butterflies and birds to crocodiles and elephants.

For more than 100 years, The Toledo Zoo has engaged and inspired countless families and created memories that carry on for generations.
