The Zoo is excited to debut its new Botanical Garden Tours, held on the first weekend of every month. The guided, one-hour walking tours are led by the Zoo’s expert Horticulture Specialists and invite guests to explore the lush landscapes, blooming gardens, and learn about amazing plant-animal connections.
“This is the Zoo as you’ve never seen it before,” said Bob Chabot, COO. “Our gardens are more than just beautiful—they’re purposeful. They support wildlife, connect people to nature, and offer inspiration for conservation and home gardening alike."
During the tour, guests will hear fun facts, hidden garden stories, and practical tips to bring the beauty of the Zoo home to their own backyards.
Home to over 600 plant species, the Zoo’s botanical gardens showcase a wide variety of native and exotic flora, from blooming wildflowers to medicinal plants. The Zoo also boasts a mature canopy of native trees and thriving native vegetation throughout the grounds that not only enhances the beauty of the setting but also supports a wide range of animals and insects.
Tour tickets are just $6 per person or $5 for Zoo annual passholders. Space is limited, so reserve early when you purchase your Zoo admission tickets online. Or buy your ticket onsite at the Admissions Building by 10 a.m. on the day of the tour.
