Hogle Zoo Anniversary

Advertisement

Join us for a wild walk down memory lane as we celebrate the legacy and future of Utah’s Hogle Zoo. For more than 90 years, the zoo has been a place where generations have come to connect with animals, explore the wonders of nature, and discover how they can protect wildlife around the world.

On Friday, August 1, spend the day surrounded by animals and memories as we celebrate all things Hogle Zoo. The zoo will be filled with fun, family-friendly activities, including:

Themed games and crafts

Animal biofact stations

Keeper chats and animal enrichment

Watch polar bears dive, catch a crocodile feeding, or swing by an otter enrichment session. Make new memories while honoring the many made in decades past, and don’t forget to take part in our special postcard activity to share your favorite zoo moments.

Your visit supports our mission to provide world-class animal care and protect wild animals and habitats through global conservation partnerships.

Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning with fond memories, there's always more to do, more to zoo at Hogle Zoo.

Included with admission or free for members. Save $2 on your zoo tickets when you buy them online at HogleZoo.org.
