Join Us for Endangered Species Day at the Little Rock Zoo!

Endangered Species Day is a time to reflect on the incredible diversity of life on Earth and the urgent need to protect species at risk of extinction. At the Little Rock Zoo, we are proud to care for many endangered species and support conservation efforts to ensure their survival.

Visit us on May 17th to honor Endangered Species Day and learn how you can help protect wildlife!

Did you know that habitat loss is one of the leading threats to endangered species? Or that zoos like ours play a crucial role in breeding programs and habitat restoration? Hear inspiring stories about our efforts to protect endangered animals through engaging keeper talks, educational activities, and up-close animal encounters.

All Endangered Species Day activities are included with regular admission—join us in celebrating the beauty of biodiversity and the work being done to preserve it for future generations!
