Here’s why this is a fantastic time to check out the zoo.

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).
