The Louisville Zoo cares for some of the most extraordinary creatures on the planet. Participation in critical conservation efforts both at home and abroad speaks to the Zoo’s deep commitment to these animals and their relatives in the remnant wild, and underscores its mission of bettering the bond between people and our planet.
Founded in 1968, the Louisville Zoo is one of the most popular and beloved attractions in the community. Generations of families come to the Zoo as a favorite place to spend quality time laughing and learning together. Guests are likely to find adventure around every corner. They can take a class, visit over 1,700 amazing animals, cool off in the splash park, participate in exciting special events or if they prefer, they can find quiet places to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.
A walk through the Louisville Zoo is like touring the world without ever leaving town. From the award-winning Islands and Gorilla Forest to the new Glacier Run, the Zoo has proven to be a leader in innovative exhibit designs that provide comfortable, enriching living spaces for the animals and intriguing experiences for visitors.
The Zoo has also distinguished itself in the area of conservation education. Using the entire Zoo as a living classroom there are so many ways for students of all ages to make meaningful connections to wildlife - connections that will hopefully inspire conservation action both now and in the future.
