Palm Beach Zoo and Conservation Society

Animal programs:the Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society is a fully accredited public Zoo caring for almost 500 animals of 190 species, many of whom are endangered. The primary function of The Zoo is to inspire The almost 400,000 guests who come to The Zoo annually to take action that will have a positive impact on these same species in The wild. We do this through a series of daily zoologist talks, training demonstrations and up close animal experiences for The public. Included within this primary function is The operation and management of The Zoo's grounds, guest experiences, animal habitats and a state of The art animal hospital which provides both preventative and responsive care for The animals who make their home at The Palm Beach Zoo.
