Audubon Zoo
Embraceable Zoo Relocated -
Embraceable Zoo, the area where kids can interact with free roaming goats and sheep, is closed while construction takes place on some great new improvements to the Asian Domain and Cool Zoo. Our Embraceable Zoo animals are in their temporary home in the Asian Domain across from the Babirusa exhibit during construction of a new Contact Yard.
Asian Domain Improvements -
Improvements are on the way to our Asian Domain! In the meantime, access to this area of the Zoo is limited and some animals may be off exhibit while we work to bring exciting changes to this popular area.
