At the Baltimore Zoo, the sights and sounds of the animal kingdom come to life when you venture deep into a tropical forest, cross the grassy plains of an African savannah, or explore more familiar ground--from the hills and caves of western Maryland to the shores of the Chesapeake Bay--in the #1-rated Children's Zoo.

So, enjoy a great day at the Zoo. Every day is an adventure at the Baltimore Zoo, or you can choose from many exciting upcoming events:
