Zoo more with your career!

Founded in 1876, at the Maryland Zoo, we are All for Animals! Our staff has the unique opportunity to work in a welcoming, exciting, and historic environment, with a corporate mission to entertain, inspire, and educate others to support the conservation efforts of wildlife and wild places.

We are proud to be accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), which is representative of excellent care for animals, a great experience for visitors, and a conservation-minded organization focused on providing a better future for all living things. Fewer than 10% of the approximately 2,800 animal exhibitors licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture are AZA accredited.
