Franklin Park Zoo, a 72-acre site nestled within Boston's historic Franklin Park, is operated and managed by Zoo New England. Conservation is the cornerstone of Zoo New England's mission, and we are committed to preserving and protecting the incredible biodiversity of this planet both locally and globally.

At Franklin Park Zoo, guests will discover mammals, reptiles, birds and amphibians. At Nature's Neighborhoods, the award-winning Children's Zoo, get up close with the prairie dogs and climb atop the Eagle's Nest for a bird's eye view of the Zoo. Be sure to visit the African lions in the Kalahari Kingdom, Anala the tiger in Tiger Tales, the Masai giraffe and Grevy's zebra on the Giraffe Savannah.

Don't miss Gorilla Grove, the Zoo's state-of-the-art outdoor gorilla habitat. This dynamic space features more than 360,000 feet of space for the gorillas to discover and explore. Featuring corridors leading to an immersive central observational outpost within the habitat, guests have a unique perspective for quiet reflection and observation of the social dynamics of the gorilla family.

The Zoo is open every day of the year except for Thanksgiving and Christmas. For more information and ticket purchases, visit franklinparkzoo.org
