At Franklin Park Zoo, animals live in themed zones that echo their natural habitat. View lions and gorillas at the Kalahari Kingdom and Tropical Forest; observe zebra at the Serengeti Crossing; and see kangaroos at the Outback Trail. A program of activities that includes behind-the-scenes tours, zookeeper chats, and nature workshops provide ways to engage with the zoo’s animal care and conservation work—these are not typically included with standard admission.
