Zoo’s many experiences designed to exhilarate, engage and educate visitors
For 150 years, the Roger Williams Park Zoo has created experiences that both thrill visitors and educate them about the need to conserve wildlife and wild places. It starts with the animals, from giant anteaters and African elephants to Chilean flamingoes, giraffes and cheetahs. You’ll travel from Africa to the Amazon rainforest, learning about more exotic inhabitants, then to North America where harbor seals swim and bison graze and where you can learn how species have been saved from extinction. A World of Adaptations exhibit shows what it takes to survive in the wild, the Feinstein Junior Scholar Wetlands Trail lets you see native wildlife in the state’s most endangered habitat, and the Alex and Ani Farmyard lets you participate in the work that goes into a typical farm.
