Spring Break Alert
The Zoo anticipates high attendance through April, especially on sunny, warm days. For safety and guest experience, the Zoo may limit admission once parking reaches capacity. This will not only help with crowd management but will also provide a more relaxed and enjoyable visit for guests and their loved ones. Consider arriving early or carpooling, and check our site / social pages often for more updates!
If you visit the Watani Grasslands habitat or perhaps take a Zoofari bus tour, you will likely notice one of our rhinos, Abby, is missing her front primary horn
Friday, April 22, 2022, the North Carolina Zoo will observe Earth Day. We will have some native wildflower seed packets to distribute, at no charge, so you may begin to add flowers to your living space. Plant a small garden. If you haven’t the space, get a pot and start a container garden.
