What’s New at the Zoo: The Jacksonville Zoo is Open!
The Jacksonville Zoo & Gardens is one of the most popular attractions in Northeast Florida. The zoo has an animal conservation program that reaches across the globe and is one of the few zoos in the United States with an animal wellness team. Every visit to the 117-acre zoo is unique, with over 2,000 animals and 1,000 plants to discover on the property.
The zoo recently reopened with the launch of the new, larger-than-life Dinosauria exhibit. Take the entire family back to the Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Pleistocene period with some amazing dinosaur models and special effects. Once you get back to the 21st Century, spend the day with animals from across Africa, Asia, Australia, and both North and South America.
Two of the recently updated areas that you won’t want to miss are the Land of the Tiger in Asia and the African Forest, home to a family of Western Lowland Gorillas and another favorite, White Ruffed Lemurs.

The Jacksonville Zoo is committed to the well-being of guests, team members, and animals. The Zoo has implemented enhanced protocols and procedures to provide a safe family-friendly experience. Advance online ticket purchase is required and expect adjustments to dining options and indoor attractions. Review the new guidelines before you go.
