So, what's the buzz around the construction going on at the Columbus Zoo? All good things! 

While we're enhancing habitats and areas around the Zoo, and ensuring guests have an amazing and safe experience for another 100 years, stay up-to-date on current projects you may see while visiting! 

 

Projects Going on Around the Zoo

Brown Bear Viewing Yard

With their future so bright, they need more shade! Brutus and Buckeye are receiving a new shade structure in their outdoor yard, and construction will be in two phases. During that time, they will not be viewable in the outdoor habitat. 

Giraffe Boardwalk

We're working on the support structure of the boardwalk to get ready for summer guests! During that time, you may not see animals in the Watering Holes. Please follow signs in the area. 

Pepsi Oasis

Look forward to a revitalized Pepsi Oasis this April! Work will be happening inside the building and will not impede the guest experience. 

Village Ice Cream

The sweetest makeover at the Zoo! We're giving Village Ice Cream a new look and feel, and construction will be complete in early May. If you're visiting the Zoo during Memorial Day or after, stop by to see the new digs!
