Columbus Zoo and Aquarium

Empowering People. Saving Wildlife.

At the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, we’re home to more than 6,000 animals and nearly 600 species from across the globe — and every encounter tells a story. From our beloved appearances with Jungle Jack Hanna to starring in Nat Geo WILD’s Secrets of the Zoo, our mission has always gone beyond our habitat walls.

Through unforgettable experiences, groundbreaking care, and global conservation efforts, we connect people with wildlife and inspire action to protect the natural world.

Whether you're here to learn, explore, or be moved by the animals who call our Zoo home — thank you for joining us. You're in the right place.
