Seneca Park Zoo, Conservation zoo in Rochester, United States
The Seneca Park Zoo spans 20 acres within Frederick Law Olmsted's designed park, housing 90 species of mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, and fish.
The facility opened in 1894 with deer and bird exhibits, expanding in 1931 with the main building that introduced exotic animals to Rochester residents.
The ZooMobile program brings animals to schools and community centers, fostering educational connections between wildlife and local populations throughout Monroe County.
The zoo maintains year-round operations with indoor and outdoor exhibits, featuring the sole African elephants and white rhinoceros exhibits in New York State.
Local schoolchildren collected pennies and nickels to acquire two polar bears, Penny and Nickels, leading to the construction of the polar bear grotto in 1975.
