Reid Park Zoo Is A One-Of-A-Kind Elephant Ranch In Arizona
We have several wildlife preserves here in Arizona, but you’ll rarely see elephants at any of them. This unique zoo in Tucson lets visitors get up-close-and-personal with some of nature’s gentlest giants and observe their daily habits.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate

More than 500,000 people visit annually, and that number is expected to increase even further with the advent of a new exhibit.


Featuring a large pond and plenty of land for the gentle giants to roam on, this spacious enclosure bears a striking resemblance to their natural habitat.

It's quite an adorable sight to behold!

At least she's expressing curiosity about the world around her, right?

That telling gaze rife with love is all you need to know about the connection between these two.

Hours are 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.
