Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden

The 65-acre complex houses 500 animal species, 1800 animals, and 3000 plant species across multiple themed exhibits and garden sections.

The Cincinnati Zoo, established in 1873 and opened in 1875, stands as the second oldest zoological institution in the United States.

The Lindner Center for Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife leads scientific programs focused on protecting vulnerable species through advanced reproductive research.

The facility provides accessible pathways, multiple dining venues, gift shops, restroom facilities, and dedicated parking areas for visitors throughout operating hours.

The zoo gained international attention for Fiona, a Nile hippopotamus born six weeks prematurely in 2017, who survived through intensive medical care.
