We’re bringing a little piece of Toledo Zoo hospitality beyond our gates with the opening of Watering Hole Creamery, our new downtown Toledo destination! 🍨🐘

Inspired by the watering holes of Africa, where wildlife gathers to refresh and recharge, Watering Hole Creamery brings that same spirit of connection and community to the heart of downtown.

Located inside the Neighborhood Health Association’s (NHA) Main Office, we’re grateful for the opportunity to be in a space with an organization committed to serving and strengthening the Toledo community.

Stop in for hand-dipped ice cream, fresh salads and wraps, specialty desserts, coffee beverages and classic soda shop favorites.

Zoo members enjoy 10% off purchases of $10 or more. Simply show your digital or printed membership at checkout.

We can’t wait to welcome you to the Watering Hole Creamery!

Your impact takes flight! 🦋🐛 Join Toledo Zoo's conservation efforts by sponsoring a Monarch butterfly tag.

Celebrate these butterflies and the start of their 3,000+ mile migration to Mexico.

Before being released, each monarch receives a unique and painless tag that allows the Zoo to collect data on its journey.
