Mission Statement
Woodland Park Zoo saves wildlife and inspires everyone to make conservation a priority in their lives.
About This Cause
Founded in 1899, Woodland Park Zoo is accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums and certified by the rigorous American Humane Conservation program. The Humane Certified™ seal of approval is another important validation of the zoo's long-standing tradition of meeting the highest standards in animal welfare. Woodland Park Zoo is helping to save animals and their habitats through more than 35 field projects in the Pacific Northwest and around the world. Each year, the zoo engages more than a million visitors of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, and walks of life in extraordinary experiences with animals, inspiring them to make conservation a priority in their lives and a difference in our planet's future ecological health and sustainability. The zoo serves a large regional audience and is a major Washington state attraction, drawing more than a million visitors annually. Each year more than 400,000 visitors participate in the zoo’s free public programs and nearly 70,000 students, teachers and chaperones visit the zoo in school groups. Woodland Park Zoo annually provides 40,000 complimentary tickets to more than 300 King County social service organizations for individuals that may be limited in their ability to pay admission fees. The zoo has garnered seven major exhibit awards by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (formerly the American Association of Zoos & Aquariums): Humboldt penguin, Jaguar Cove, Trail of Vines, Northern Trail, Tropical Rain Forest, Elephant Forest, African Savanna. In addition, we have numerous awards for our breeding programs.
