Oregon Zoo

The Oregon Zoo connects our community to the wonder of wildlife to create a better future for all. Located on 64 forested acres in Portland’s Washington Park, we are a hub for science, conservation, education and animal well-being delivering the highest quality of care to 165 species and subspecies.

We are one of the most visited cultural landmarks in the Pacific Northwest, with around 1.5 million visits each year—inspiring guests and community members of all ages, abilities and backgrounds by creating safe, welcoming spaces. Through their tickets and memberships, as well as support from the Oregon Zoo Foundation, we are able to make a difference for wildlife at home and around the world. Our community’s support helps us protect more than 20 endangered and threatened species — from California condors to Oregon silverspot butterflies.

Community supported since 1888, we are part of Metro, greater Portland’s regional government.

Partner Category

We often partner with non-governmental conservation organizations on conservation projects, whether it's to conserve identified species such as the monarch butterfly or to advise on land acquisition for conservation so that it has the greatest benefit for species.

We partner with these groups to help them conduct their commercial activities in a way that best promotes conservation.

Those who experience the outdoors and wildlife first-hand become its greatest conservationists.  We partner with these groups to foster their love of wildlife and conservation.
