Rosamond Gifford Zoo Claimed

I hope that you fully enjoy your visit to the Rosamond Gifford Zoo at Burnet Park. We are especially proud of our zoo -- from its focus on animal welfare to its “green building” status to its interactive capabilities.

The Rosamond Gifford Zoo prides itself on its accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), a distinction earned by only 230 institutions. AZA accreditation is your guarantee that the Rosamond Gifford Zoo meets the highest standards of animal care and guest experience.

The Rosamond Gifford Zoo is also a breeding zoo, which works closely with other AZA institutions to help ensure the survival of threatened and endangered species around the world.

Take your time, observe the animals, look at the plants, enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and help us make the world a better place for animals and people. Thank you for your support!
