About Oregon Zoo

The Oregon Zoo connects communities to the wonder of wildlife to create a better future for all. Perched on a hill of 64 forested acres just minutes from Portland city center, they are a hub for science, conservation, education and animal well-being delivering the highest quality of care to 165 species and subspecies.

The Oregon Zoo is one of the most visited cultural landmarks in the Pacific Northwest, with around 1.5 million visits each year—inspiring guests and community members of all ages, abilities and backgrounds by creating safe, welcoming spaces. Through their tickets and memberships, as well as support from the Oregon Zoo Foundation, they are able to make a difference for wildlife at home and around the world. The community’s support helps the zoo protect more than 20 endangered and threatened species — from California condors to Oregon silverspot butterflies.

Community supported since 1888, Oregon Zoo is part of Metro, greater Portland’s regional government. Visit us at oregonzoo.org/together.
