Oglebay Good Zoo Full Tour - Wheeling, West Virginia

The Good Zoo is a 30-acre (12 ha) facility that houses over 80 species of animals. The zoo was dedicated in memory of a seven-year-old boy, Philip Mayer Good, who loved nature. He was the son of Barbara and Larry Good of Wheeling. As of 2019, the Good Zoo's collection includes cheetahs, zebras, kangaroos, wallabys, tamarins, lemurs, ostriches, llamas, goats, barn owls, bald eagles, red pandas, gorals, peacocks, white-naped cranes, a small gang of meerkats and many other animals from all over the globe. There is a discovery lab, with an indoor South American rainforest exhibit, and more. The Good Zoo is the only AZA accredited zoo in West Virginia.

The Good Zoo is also home to a veterinary hospital where visitors can view operations and routine checkups. The hospital is used as a treatment area for zoo animals, a breeding center for certain species, a quarantine area for incoming animals, and a rehabilitation center for wild raptors. The zoo's raptor rehabilitation program has successfully treated many raptors and other native birds since its establishment. The zoo's turkey vultures, bald eagles are two of the animals on exhibit.

The Good Zoo has many SSP programs. The Species Survival Plan (SSP) is a cooperative breeding and conservation program instituted by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). The goal of SSP programs is to help as many species as possible through captive breeding, education, research, and habitat preservation.
