FEATURED EVENTS

This behind-the-scenes tour will take you through a facility designed to accommodate all current and future animals at Oakland Zoo, from small birds to large tigers and grizzly bears. It features radiology and surgical suites, a small laboratory, a pharmacy, wide transportation docks, and LEED Gold certification.

Oakland Zoo is bringing back Wildlife Theater programs this summer! Join our experienced educators in this fun and immersive program that introduces you to some of Oakland Zoo's most beloved ambassador animals as we explore the different habitats they reside in. Every week, you will meet a different ambassador from the grasslands, wetlands, or desert. If you get really lucky, you may even meet an animal that can live in all three! ‍

Whether it is a slithering snake or a slinking skink, our animal ambassadors offer a compelling story on climate change.
