Opening May 9 at noon, the Aline W. Skaggs Wild Utah exhibit is unlike any other zoo experience. With personal animal experiences, hands-on conservation opportunities, and behind-the-scenes access to animal care, guests can engage with Utah wildlife like never before.
Spanning three fresh acres on the east side of Utah’s Hogle Zoo, Wild Utah opens a new area to enjoy at the zoo and a new space to create 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. By donating today, your support will help make this expansion possible and will leave a lasting legacy of supporting Utah wildlife for decades to come. Donate today or purchase a Wild Utah legacy item.
Guests will actively engage in conservation with hands-on activities that make a real difference for wildlife. Activities include creating seed pods, bird houses, and planting pollinators.
Guests will become Wild Aware and enjoy the outdoors responsibly at the Nature Play Area & Interpretive Campsite, made possible by the Joseph M. Simmons Foundation.
Utah’s Hogle Zoo is launching renewable energy project with support from Rocky Mountain Power’s Blue Sky program participants.
Utah’s Hogle Zoo is continuing to generate its own clean, renewable power thanks to a funding award from Rocky Mountain Power’s Blue Sky program participants. The money will support the installation of renewable energy sources for the upcoming Aline W. Skaggs Wild Utah exhibit.
Utah’s Hogle Zoo joins more than 190 organizations across Rocky Mountain Power’s service area that, since 2006, have received awards for community-based renewable projects, including solar, wind, geothermal, and other forms of renewable energy.
