A history

Education
The Pueblo Zoo is about sharing the wonders
of the natural world with its visitors while
educating them about the intricate balance
of our earth and its inhabitants. At the Pueblo
Zoo, you do more than build memories. You
experience. You enjoy. You learn.
Here, you can enter the Zoo Education Center
and learn about the animal world’s past. From
dinosaurs to saber tooth tigers, the Education
Center is made to teach about the past and
future of animal life.

Starting at the turn of the 20th Century as
a small collection of animals distributed
among three city parks, all animals were
moved to City Park in the 1920s, where
several exhibit structures were built by the
Works Progress Administration (WPA) during
the 1930s.
Now operated by the Pueblo Zoological
Society and accredited by the Association of
Zoos and Aquariums, the city-owned facility
has undergone a major transformation over
the past 20 years.

Education Center animals include
chinchillas, armadillos, salamanders, hedgehogs, sugar gliders and
over 20 more animals.
Additionally, each exhibit
throughout the zoo is fitted with
informational paneling about
the animal on exhibit. Many of the
informational panels are interactive with
sound, lights and additional information.

A mission
The Pueblo Zoo is a non-profit organization
which aims to conserve animal life both in
captivity and in the wild.
Each visitor contributes to this goal when
paying admission. A portion of the admission
funds goes toward an animal conservation
fund and a portion goes toward the upkeep,
maintenance and continued care of the zoo’s
many animals.
