ABOUT
Utica Zoo
Get closer than ever to over 200 wild animals from Africa, Asia, and the Americas at Utica Zoo, the wildest place in town! Catch the lions in African Alley, hand feed the red pandas, and venture behind the fence to meet the Nigerian Dwarf goats! Take your students, scouts, homeschoolers, and campers on a self-guided tour of the zoo’s fascinating exhibits or team up with a docent for educational programs. Groups will enjoy Animal Encounters, snowshoeing (when in season) and other fun activities at Utica Zoo. Younger groups will have a great time playing on the animal-themed Children’s Playground in the Children’s Zoo. Picnic tables and pavilion rentals are also available for group lunches and events.

FUN FACTS
The giraffe’s tongue is black to prevent sunburn while eating in the hot sun. Their spots, which are as unique as humans fingerprints, are designed for camouflage. And they need less sleep than any other mammal, using the time instead to browse for food.
When you go to the zoo, be on the lookout for the clever ways animals adapted to their surroundings and developed traits that help them survive.
