About the Tampa Bay Lowry Park Zoo

The Tampa Bay Lowry Park Zoo is a beautiful, family friendly zoo in Tampa Bay. This 56 acre, beautifully landscaped zoo is home to over 2,000 animals, living in reproductions of their natural habitats.

In addition to showcasing exotic animals, the Zoo also has a strong mission of conservation and education.

Visitors can interact with numerous animals, feeding the giraffe and white rhino, riding atop a camel, serving as a landing perch for budgies and lorikeet, petting stingray, and interacting with a variety of mammals, amphibians and reptiles at the Wallaroo Station Petting Zoo and Discovery Center – all of these animals are amazing to see.
