Our vision is to be one of the worlds best Zoos by preserving wildlife through education, conservation and research. Our team and volunteers are dedicated to providing an enriching sanctuary for our animals, and an entertaining and educational experience for our guests. Today, the Memphis Zoo is one of Memphis’ highest attended attractions. The Zoo’s conservation programs circle the globe – from cooperative programs in China for giant pandas to local efforts to save the Louisiana pine snake. More than 1 million people visit the Zoo every year.
