Don't miss out!

Did you know that when you come to zoo events you are directly helping the animals?

With the funds, we were able to raise with Zoo Lights this past year we were able to purchase a Cold Laser Therapy Device for our Veterinary Staff to use on our animals here at the Zoo!

A Cold Laser Therapy Device uses low levels of light to stimulate healing and cell growth in a particular area of an animal that needs medical assistance.

Abi, one of our Reticulated Giraffe mothers, needed some help with one of her legs and with the help of the Cold Laser, she is starting to feel better!

Thank you for supporting the Topeka Zoo by coming to events, without you great things would not be possible!

Happy World Giraffe Day!🦒Why not celebrate the animal with the longest neck in the month with the longest day of the year!

Giraffes survive today in only 21 of the 56 African nations. Giraffe numbers across Africa have declined by 40 % in the last fifteen years alone. Reticulated giraffes like those found at your Topeka Zoo, are among the most endangered giraffes in Africa. With such dramatic losses in numbers to all six kinds of giraffe across Africa, zoos around the world will stick their neck out for giraffes this month on World Giraffe Day!

The Topeka Zoo is doing their part for giraffe as we start construction on our new experience, GIRAFFE AND FRIENDS! The new tree-acre yard will have everything from dik-diks to bontebok, and new barns that will provide modern amenities for the health and well-being of our giraffe and friends, including a giant indoor giraffe playroom, maternity room, training suite, and both an indoor and outdoor feeding platform for the guests to get up close and personal with the giraffe.

Check out our website to see what new things are coming to the Zoo and how you can help make it happen! topekazoo.org/giraffeandfriends
