Virginia Zoo

About

The Virginia Zoo is committed to engaging our community in taking action to save the world’s wildlife and their ecosystems. To that end we provide a home to hundreds of animals from around the world and educational opportunities to thousands of visitors. We also put conservation practices to work, helping rare animals thrive. All life on Earth is connected through sharing resources and living space. As humans, we have the power to positively impact our environment and the other organisms living on Earth. Here at the Virginia Zoo, we will show you how.

Sustainability helps animals, our planet, and local communities. We are hearty supporters of Virginia Green Travel and sustainable tourism. When you visit the Virginia Zoo, you can be a part of our commitment to energy and water conservation, recycling, reduction of waste, and more, while viewing amazing creatures from across the globe.
