The only museum of its kind in the country, the ZooZeum is a place where the public can come and experience the zoological and botanical memories that guests and staff have encountered at the Zoo for more than 100 years.

Designed into the framework of a 1935 Works Projects Administration (WPA) building, the ZooZeum is located next to the Elephant Pavilion in the Elephant Habitat. Originally built as a bathhouse, it has also served the Zoo as a train barn and storage for Haunt the Zoo for Halloween props in years past.

Guests will encounter two galleries: the Main Gallery and the Train Gallery. In each, photo panels and display cases filled with artifacts tell the stories of the Zoo’s past and present.
