Chattanooga Zoo at Warner Park, Zoological park in Warner Park, Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States.
The Chattanooga Zoo at Warner Park is a zoo set within Warner Park, a public green area in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The grounds are organized into sections, each holding a different group of animals in enclosures designed to resemble their natural surroundings.
The zoo opened in 1937 with a small group of primates as its first residents. Over the following decades, it grew through several phases of expansion that shaped what the grounds look like today.
The zoo sits inside Warner Park, a public green space that many people in Chattanooga use regularly. Walking through the grounds, visitors can see families spending time outdoors while exploring the animal areas.
The grounds are explored entirely on foot, so comfortable shoes make the visit easier, especially with children. Picking up a map at the entrance helps locate the different animal sections without backtracking.
The zoo runs a breeding program for small primate species that are disappearing in the wild. Young animals born here are often placed in reintroduction programs aimed at strengthening wild populations.
