We’re proud to be building a new Community Conservation Centre — a state-of-the-art space that will include classrooms (in partnership with local educational institutions), community gathering areas, and a brand-new otter habitat!

This exciting addition will help us further our mission of connecting people, animals, conservation science, and traditional knowledge to fight extinction.

We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience as we work to enhance your Zoo experience.
