WE NEED YOUR INPUT
Please Share Your Feedback About the Cosley Zoo 25 Year Vision for Exhibit Renovations
Cosley Zoo has been in operation for over 50 years with many exhibits and support facilities showing signs of age and deterioration that have evolved beyond day to day maintenance. In 2024, a comprehensive existing conditions assessment was conducted for exhibits and support facilities. The report identified key opportunities for renovation and modernization to better support animal welfare, improve operational efficiency and enhance overall visitor experience. Learn more about the concepts and share your feedback at the Public Meeting on May 2 at 10A in Kiebler Barn at Cosley Zoo, or by viewing and completing our online form.
