About The Maryland Zoo

The Maryland Zoo has a 135-plus acre campus nestled in Druid Hill Park located in Baltimore, MD. The Zoo’s mission is to engage people in the wonders of the living world through personal encounters with animals, fostering empathy and lifelong support for conservation of wildlife and wild places.

The Zoo’s 135-plus acre property in Druid Hill Park is owned by the City of Baltimore and leased to the State of Maryland. The Maryland Zoological Society, established in 1967, operates the Zoo under a lease agreement with the state. The Zoological Society assumed full management of the Zoo from the City’s Division of Parks and Recreation in 1984.

Animals at The Maryland Zoo

Currently, the Zoo’s animal collection includes birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles representing 130 species. There are four main areas at the Zoo for people to visit, all featuring naturalistic exhibits evocative of animals’ native habitats. They are Penguin Coast, Northern Passage, Maryland Wilderness, and African Journey. 

Penguin Coast

Penguin Coast, the Zoo’s state-of-the-art exhibit for African penguins and other seabirds, opened in 2015 and received the AZA 2016 Award for Exhibit Design. The Zoo is home to more than 90 African penguins and maintains the largest and most successful African penguin breeding colony in North America. African penguins also represent one of the Zoo’s Signature Animal Programs (SAPs) for wildlife conservation work.

Northern Passage

Northern Passage features grizzly bears, a bald eagle, and other animals found in the northern hemisphere. The exhibit includes an authentic Tundra Buggy® from which visitors can watch grizzlies. 

Maryland Wilderness

A trek through Maryland Wilderness allows visitors to appreciate the beauty of local wilderness and encounter fascinating native species. Along the way, they pass through the bog, marsh, mountain stream, cave, woods, and meadow before ending up in the Farmyard.

Recent Renovations 

In 2019, the Zoo completed a historic renovation and expansion of the lion, giraffe, and elephant habitats in African Journey, marking a stunning transformation of its largest exhibit area. Throughout African Journey, visitors can see species native to the vast and varied continent of Africa, including some of the world’s most iconic animals.

In 2021, the Zoo reopened its historic Main Valley to give visitors a look back on historic, Victorian-era cages and enclosures to see just how far zoo habitats and conservation initiatives have come.

We haven’t been to the zoo in a long time. It’s cool seeing the renovations and changes they’ve made. I love the elephants.
