History & Legacy
Utah’s Hogle Zoo stretches over 42 acres of natural hillside terrain generously donated by the Hogle family in 1931 where we have been for over 90 years. Learn more about the history of Utah’s Hogle Zoo by clicking below.
Accreditation
Utah’s Hogle Zoo has been a proud member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) since 1972, and has been accredited since 1979. Fewer than 10 percent of zoos across the nation are AZA accredited. As an AZA member, we meet and exceed the highest standards in animal care, welfare, and facilities.

There are more than 2,000 USDA licensed wildlife exhibitors in the US, but fewer than 10% are accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). Utah’s Hogle Zoo is among that 10 percent, meaning we’re recognized as one of the best zoos in the world. We are also a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA). The Zoo, Arts, and Parks (ZAP) Program provides funding for up to three zoological organizations, one of which is Utah’s Hogle Zoo.
