More information
In its 38 year history, the Louisville Zoo has dedicated itself to the pursuits of education, conservation, scientific study and recreation. Accredited by the American Zoological Association (AZA) in 1980, the "State Zoo of Kentucky" currently exhibits over 1,300 animals in naturalistic and mixed animal settings representing both geographical areas and biomes or habitats. Of special note are the Zoo's achievements in the areas of animal husbandry, conservation and scientific study for which it has drawn international recognition. The Louisville Zoo is also distinguishing itself in the area of education. The innovative MetaZoo Education Center was the first facility of its kind to serve both as a public exhibit and a living classroom.
