Baby Elephant Viewing Times
Thousands of Columbus Zoo guests have seen baby elephant and her mom, Sunny, over the past month, and you can, too!
Current Viewing Times: 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Next Up: Introductions to more of the herd!
In the upcoming weeks, the baby will be spending time with mom, Aunt Rudy, Phoebe (who is also pregnant!), and Frankie in both the indoor habitat and the backyard habitat. We are starting with small time increments so the calf can keep to her current routine, so scheduled viewing times will vary in our Asia Quest region.
| Tuesday thru Friday | 11am - 1pm |
| Saturday & Sunday | 9am - 1pm |
Thank you for understanding that viewing opportunities may vary to support the calf's routine and wellbeing.

Due This Fall: Phoebe's Baby!
Phoebe, another beloved Asian elephant at the Columbus Zoo, is expecting another calf this fall, and her pregnancy is progressing smoothly under the attentive care of her Animal Care team.
She’s already the proud mom of big brother Frankie, and we’re grateful to our community for sharing in the excitement as we prepare to welcome this newest addition.
The Teams Behind it All
The Elephant Care team and Conservation Medicine team have been working around the clock to ensure the herd has what it needs to thrive. Join us in thanking them, and all of the Animal Care teams at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium!
