Description:

Utah Zoological Society was founded in 1911 on a small plot of land inside Liberty Park. Utah’s Hogle Zoo’s current location at the mouth of Emigration Canyon was generously donated by the Hogle family in 1931 and stretches over 42 acres of natural hillside terrain. Hogle Zoo has been a proud member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) since 1972, and has been accredited since 1979. Fewer than 10 percent of zoos across the nation are AZA accredited. As an AZA member, we meet and exceed the highest standards in animal care, wellbeing, and facilities. As one of the largest zoos in the Intermountain West, Utah's Hogle Zoo houses over 800 animals representing 139 species.
