Watch the flock of threatened African Penguins, experience a wallaby mob on the move, discover the gibbons aerobatic abilities or surround yourself with sights and sounds of South American birds in the walk-through aviary. Stop by the Children's Zoo and pat a donkey, feed a lamb or just relax on a bench and enjoy the beautifully landscaped grounds. Over 400 animals, the largest collection in Idaho, call Tautphaus Park Zoo home.
Of course a visit to the zoo would not be complete without a soft drink or hot dog from the Lolly Water hut. The Explorer's Station gift shop offers a variety of items including T-shirts and stuffed animals that make a perfect souvenir of your visit. You can celebrate a birthday, take a fun and educational class or hold a family reunion or corporate picnic all right here at the zoo! Support the zoo by becoming a member and enjoy free admission for one year or adopt an animal and help care for the zoo's animal collection. There's excitment, fun and adventure for everyone at the Tautphaus Park Zoo!
The zoo is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00am to 5:00pm and Mondays from 9:00am to 7:00pm!
Thanks to our generous supporters who help make the zoo a
great place for animals and people!
