Come observe and learn all about the world around us and the wildest creatures that inhabit it. As you explore the Chattanooga Zoo, you will encounter chimpanzees, giraffes, jaguars, komodo dragons, meerkats, and more!
Discover what it takes to become a zookeeper through our daily activities and offerings! Learn all about how our zookeepers care for our animals and their habitats through our daily popup keeper chats and animal meet and greets.
Go behind-the-scenes to feed, interact, and learn even more about our animals like red pandas and fennec foxes through our WILD Encounters program.
