Cleveland Zoo

Cleveland Zoo offers a diverse range of activities for all visitors, whether you're a local or a traveler. This metropolitan zoo opened its doors in 1882 and has since become a home to over 3,000 animals representing more than 600 species. Besides the delightful experience of feeding giraffes, visitors can engage in interactive exhibits, where they can pet friendly animals in the petting zoo area. As you explore, don’t miss out on learning about the conservation efforts the zoo promotes to protect endangered species. The zoo features several themed areas, including an African Savanna, a Rainforest, and a North America zone, allowing guests to see animals in habitats that closely resemble their natural environments. Be sure to check out special events hosted by the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo throughout the year, such as educational programs, wildlife encounters, and seasonal activities. With ample walking paths and picnic areas, it’s easy to spend an entire day enjoying all the great experiences Cleveland Zoo has to offer. Remember to visit during feeding times for a hands-on interaction with the animals, making your trip even more memorable!
