Where else can you visit polar ice caps, a tropical forest, the African savanna and a jungle all in one day? The zoo is a state-of-the-art habitat featuring more than 3,500 animals representing 600 species. Visit with sloths, tree frogs, and a moray eel at the indoor 'Tropical Discovery' exhibit. Or wander through the seven-acre 'Primate Panorama Exhibit'. From cold climate penguins to tropical flamingos, 'Bird World' will inspire your appreciation of winged things. It is open 365 days a year.
