Come and view the naturalistic exhibits that house more than 90 species of native and exotic animals.Enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of the lagoons and watch mischievous spider monkeys at play on monkey island. Delight at the river otters. Marvel at the grace of the cheetahs and the deceivingly cuddly appearance of the Asiatic black bear. Then take a walk on the wild side with cougars, gibbons, lemurs, and more.
Learn how the Henson Robinson Zoo in cooperation with the American Zoo and Aquarium Association is working to preserve endangered species. Visit the vanishing species at the zoo and learn how you too can help in their fight for life.
