The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium continues to earn national acclaim, landing a spot on Condé Nast Traveler's list of the 10 Best Zoos in the United States. Known for its iconic animal exhibits and rich history, the zoo has become a top-tier destination, largely thanks to the late Jack Hanna's influence. Highlights include the largest manatee exhibit outside of Florida and one of the best primate exhibits in the country.
Exciting updates are in store for 2025, including the opening of the revamped North America Trek region and the arrival of two new elephant calves. This zoo remains a must-visit for both residents and travelers alike!
