Cincinnati , OH
The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden is the 2nd oldest zoo in the country with over 500 animal species and 3,000 plant species. Consistently voted one of the top zoos in the country and voted the #1 family attraction in Cincinnati by Zagat Survey. In June 2013 we opened the largest exhibit - AFRICA! This summer, we opened the next exciting phase of AFRICA by adding Meerkats and Painted Dogs! This spectacular exhibit offers open-air, dramatic views of some of Africas most powerful predators - lions and cheetahs. The expanded Giraffe Ridge with covered gazebo allows more access and feeding opportunity with these gentle giants. Visit the "greenest" Zoo in America!
