Exhibits
AFRICA
From the savannahs to the veldt, Africa is home to a magnificent variety of creatures large and small.
During your safari, you can visit the rhinoceros or view the hippopotamus. You can even get up close and personal with a giraffe when you come to our Giraffe Feeding Station. Be sure to stop by some of SCZ’s most popular exhibits while you’re here:
DOWNING GORILLA FOREST
Built to replicate eight acres of central African forest, the Downing Gorilla Forest is home to a group of western lowland gorillas. The Gorilla Forest allows visitors to be surrounded by a lively and authentic atmosphere, starting with the Nganda Village and then leading to a chance to view the gorillas in the middle of their home. Watch our group of bachelor gorillas as they forage on the hillside or play and wrestle. Watch mama gorillas raise their young. And be sure to keep an eye out for all of the other species that live here, including the playful colobus monkeys and the secretive okapi, a distant relative to the giraffe.
REED FAMILY ELEPHANTS OF THE ZAMBEZI RIVER VALLEY
SCZ is proud to be home to the third largest elephant habitat in the country.
Our elephants live on more than five acres of sprawling outdoor space, with access to an indoor facility as well as a 550,000-gallon pool. A covered pavilion that looks out on the elephants makes a great venue for your special event!
SLAWSON FAMILY ASIAN BIG CAT TREK
The Slawson Family Asian Big Cat Trek is home to Amur Leopards, Snow Leopards, Amur Tigers, and Red Pandas. Watch tigers splash in the pool, red pandas perched in their favorite tree, and leopards taking a nap in the shade.
CESSNA PENGUIN COVE
This habitat was built to replicate the coast of South America.
As a result, the Cessna Penguin Cove is the perfect home for Humboldt penguins, natives to Chile and Peru. The exhibit includes a 52-foot long underwater viewing area, where you can watch the penguins “fly” through the water. Visitors can also see the penguins on dry land; Humboldt penguins nest in natural crevices or caves that are built into the exhibit.
CHILDREN’S FARMS
Now known as the Children’s Farm, this area also includes the African Farm and is one of the most popular exhibits at the Zoo. Visitors can find more than 40 different breeds of animals in this area, including karakul sheep, watusi cattle, and Nigerian dwarf goats.
KOCH ORANGUTAN & CHIMPANZEE HABITAT
Get an intimate view of orangutans and chimpanzees from our multi-level viewing options, where you can observe them play, climb, and interact with each other.
NORTH AMERICA
Grizzly bears and cougars can be found in the forests, while bison and prairie dogs make their home on the range. See river otters at play or a rare Mexican grey wolf on the prowl. Glimpse at native creepy-crawlers. Learn about the elk, and catch a glimpse of the magnificent bald eagle.
