North Carolina Zoo

A whole world of exotic animals, right in North Carolina's backyard.

In Short
Walk in at North America, wander through Africa, gaze at the Sonora Desert and suddenly you've seen a whole world of animals in under three hours. The North Carolina Zoo always comes as a surprise to visitors who've never been there: An attraction of this magnitude is actually in our state? The beauty of this place lies in its design--animals live in settings that closely resemble their natural habitats, so you can see polar bears as they dive from rocks and chimpanzees as they playfully poke each other with tree limbs.
