Our Mission: To create connections that inspire people to take action for wildlife. Core Values: Welcome All – We all have something to offer and something to learn from each other. Empower all people to share their experiences and perspectives. Be Our Best – We strive for excellence. Be open to new ideas and to the change that makes us a stronger team and organization. Care Wholeheartedly – We prioritize the well-being of the animals, our team, our communities, and our planet. Be Sustainable – We care deeply about wildlife and conservation and are committed to sharing that passion with others. Strive to be more sustainable in each decision and action. The Zoo is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit that is an affordable family experience supported by private donations and gate admission. We are one of a small number of private, non-profit, Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA)-accredited zoos in the country and a great community resource that enhances the quality of life in Central Florida by offering a unique Zoo experience. We bring the world of animals to our guests who may never have the opportunity to see these animals in the wild, and we are dedicated to the preservation and conservation of animals worldwide.
