Virginia Zoological Park, Zoo in Norfolk, United States
Virginia Zoological Park is a zoo in Norfolk featuring animal exhibits from Africa, Asia, and North America spread across multiple acres. The facility focuses on research and conservation through specialized breeding and protection programs.
The zoo was founded in 1900 and evolved from a small municipal animal collection into a modern research and conservation facility. This transformation reflects growing awareness of species protection needs.
The zoo hosts regular animal presentations and educational programs where visitors learn directly from staff members about the species on display. These hands-on experiences create a personal connection between people and wildlife.
