Why just observe the natural world when you can be a part of it? Upgrade your zoo visit by feeding a giraffe or getting up close to a rhino in a safe, exciting setting.
Creating Champions for Wildlife
As a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization, donations to the zoo provide invaluable support towards fulfilling our mission of creating champions for wildlife. With these funds, we can create a world that is safe for wildlife and filled with enriching educational experiences for all ages. Utah’s Hogle Zoo upholds the highest animal care standards in the world as an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) — a distinction given to only 10% of animal institutions.
