See The Faces Of The Rainforest At Roger Williams Park Zoo In Rhode Island For An Adorable Adventure
Have you been to the Roger Williams Park Zoo lately? It has definitely been an interesting year for the zoo crew, with covid related closures and reduced capacity leaving an impact. Luckily, the zoo is open to visitors, with a few restrictions. But their latest exhibit, Faces of the Rainforest, is sure to draw a crowd (just not at the same time). Here’s why this is a fantastic time to check out the zoo.
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.

The zoo is supported and managed by the Rhode Island Zoological Society and owned by the City of Providence.
Conservation and environmental education were unknown concepts at the time, although they are huge factors in the way the zoo operates now.
The zoo, which is American Humane certified, is home to many endangered species. The zoo participates in cooperative conservation and breeding programs to help ensure their survival.
This exhibit takes you on a journey to an Amazon rainforest, where you'll see all kinds of fascinating creatures.
The giant anteater is a local favorite, as are the Chilean flamingos.
They can often be heard from two or three miles away in the wild.
Plus, these social creatures are waiting to meet you (from a distance, of course).
