Interested in having a guided tour of Elmwood Park Zoo?

Tours are led by specially-trained and knowledgeable volunteers who enjoy sharing their passion for the natural world with our guests.

Each tour covers topics such as Elmwood Park Zoo history, animal facts and anecdotes, diet and

nutrition, and conservation efforts. Volunteers also use artifacts such as pelts, skulls, and feathers

to make the tour an engaging multi-sensory experience! Tours can be tailored to specific interests
