Pueblo Zoo

Pueblo Zoo is a historic animal facility in Pueblo, Colorado, displaying creatures from around the world across its grounds. The grounds organize exhibits into different sections, each featuring mammals, reptiles, birds, and amphibians grouped by their native regions.

Founded in 1933, this zoo developed from its start as a local animal collection into an educational resource for the region. Its listing on the National Register of Historic Places reflects its enduring role in the community.

This zoo serves as a gathering place where visitors can watch animals from around the world in one location. Families use it as a destination to learn about wildlife while spending time together outdoors.

The zoo is accessible by car or public transit and sits in a straightforward location in town. Morning visits work best for seeing active animals and avoiding peak crowds during the day.

Each winter the zoo transforms with 250,000 lights and moving animal figures into a major seasonal light show. This elaborate holiday display appears for only a short period and brings visitors from surrounding areas to see it.
