Fun Facts

ZooTampa at Lowry Park has a state-of-the-art animal hospital that treats over 400 animals annually, including manatees, which are native to Florida waters.

The zoo is actively involved in conservation programs, particularly for the endangered Florida panther and the Key deer, both of which are native to the state.

ZooTampa was originally established in the 1930s as a municipal zoo and has since evolved into a leading facility for wildlife conservation and education.

ZooTampa features several immersive habitats, including the 'Ituri Forest,' which replicates the dense rainforests of Central Africa.

ZooTampa offers a variety of educational programs for all ages, focusing on wildlife conservation and environmental stewardship.

The David A. Straz, Jr. Manatee Critical Care Center at ZooTampa is one of only four facilities in the U.S. dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of sick and injured manatees.

ZooTampa hosts 'Creatures of the Night,' a family-friendly Halloween event featuring themed attractions and animal encounters.
