• Overview

    Cosley Zoo gives visitors up-close interactions with nature right in the heart of the suburbs. Nestled on five acres, Cosley Zoo is home to farm animals and native wildlife. Visitors will discover exhibits that immerse them in natural habitats for white-tailed deer, red fox, Blanding’s turtles, a coyote, and more. Cosley Zoo is also a center for animal education and conservation, offering programs that teach young and old how to care for the world around them and give back to the communities in which they live, work, and play.

    Cosley Zoo exhibits native wildlife and domestic farm animals in an accessible manner for children. The zoo is open year-round and features a tree-shaded picnic area, seasonal concessions, exclusive-use facility rentals, and a private party room. The "Zoo to You" outreach program and birthday and group packages are available.
