Columbus Zoo and Aquarium
The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is one of the largest and best-loved zoos in the United States. It is home to thousands of animals from every corner of the world, plus an aquarium and a water park next door.
It is famous for its gorillas, elephants, polar bears, and manatees, and for helping protect animals in the wild. Families spend the whole day exploring animal regions and making unforgettable memories.
Animals from Everywhere
The zoo is divided into regions like Africa, Asia, and the Arctic, each full of amazing creatures. You can see towering giraffes, playful sea lions, and gentle giant tortoises all in one visit.
Aquarium and Water Park
An indoor aquarium lets you meet sharks, colorful fish, and slow-swimming manatees up close. Right next door, a water park with slides is a splashy way to cool off on hot days.
Helping Wildlife
The zoo works hard to care for animals and protect species that are in danger around the world. Kind keepers share stories that teach kids how to help nature every day.
