Renovations to the North American river otter habitat are underway. River otters Piper and Hudson will not be viewable while this work takes place. Other habitats may be impacted at select times throughout the project.
The main access to the Maryland Wilderness is currently closed. Guests may enjoy the Farmyard by entering from Zoo Central.
Beautiful, mysterious, and rare, Panamanian golden frogs have been revered as good-luck tokens in their native country of Panama since pre-Columbian times. Now, they are critically endangered, and quite possibly extinct in the wild. Join us on August 17th to learn about the threats Panamanian Golden Frogs face in the wild and how they are thriving under the care of zoos and aquariums in the United States. Guests will be able to talk to the keepers and learn more about these frogs throughout the day!
