Our Story

Binghamton’s Ross Park Zoo is dedicated to promoting awareness and stewardship of our natural world, in our community and globally, through education, conservation, and community engagement. Located in historic Ross Park, the zoo was established in 1875, and is the fifth oldest zoo in the country.

The Ross Park Zoo is home to many animals, including rare and endangered species. We are wild about conservation, and there are many ways to support our efforts. The zoo’s Global Conservation Fund is awarded annually to one of our partners in support of wildlife conservation. In addition to our own efforts, we also partner with FrogWatch USA, Snow Leopard Trust, Fishing Cat Conservancy, Monarch Watch, Seafood Watch, I Love NY Water, and many other wonderful organizations.
