The Zoo is home to more than 200 different species – including five American alligators recently introduced to the brand new habitat, Alligator Alley.

Peek into the famous polar bear habitat knowing your day of exploration is just beginning. Swing by the orangutans, go on safari at the Elephant Expedition or just blaze your own trail.

There’s a lot to see on the zoo’s 202 acres. Fortunately, there are also plenty of ways to get around—like hopping on the KCZoo Railroad or soaring above the African Plains on the Sky Safari.

The Kansas City Zoo is always changing, growing and making improvements. Keep connected to discover what’s next—like a 600,000-gallon aquarium coming in 2023.
