Our Nature Nook renovation is coming along nicely. This building will allow us to have on site programs in a centrally located area of the Zoo. To complete the renovation, we have an artist sketching out a wrap around zoo animal mural, see bison in second photo. We plan on having Zoo Idaho Members, their names have been pulled in a drawing, to come and paint in the mural. Stay tuned for more!

Zoo Idaho

Zoo Idaho’s season opening date is not set yet as we continue to follow recommendations from Governor Little and the CDC on social distancing and preventing the transfer of COVID-19. We will be open throughout the winter for special events and education classes only. School outreaches can be booked throughout the year. You can book private events or school field trips at anytime! Zoo Idaho's mission is ‘Preserving Intermountain West wildlife and habitat through conservation and education’. The Zoo started in 1932 as a small exotic facility with one raccoon and chimpanzee. During the mid-70s the zoo committed to exhibiting only indigenous species of the Intermountain West. As the zoo transitioned it developed a strong relationship with the Idaho Fish and Game and the US Fish and Wildlife Service to acquire animals that could no longer thrive within the wild. The zoo, in a sense, became a sanctuary. Starting in 2014, Zoo Idaho has placed significant emphasis on conservation and education. Education programs increased throughout the Pocatello. Zoo Idaho works with public & private organizations to develop projects and exhibits focusing on Idaho conservation. We currently provide programming to approx 10,000 people a year.
