Baby Elephant Viewing
TWO Asian elephant calves have arrived at the Columbus Zoo!
Elephant viewing is available daily. However, herd members rotate throughout the day to allow all elephants time in the Elephant Community Room. As part of these rotations, guests may not always see the calves, Rita Jean and Ollie.
Double the Fun, Double the Learning.
Learn about Rita Jean and Ollie as a duo, how their mothers handle the excitement, and what the care team has learned.
"I'm just a baby!"
Rita Jean's a big sister now, but this blog will let you reminisce about her first 30 days.
The little brother, Ollie.
Ollie melted our hearts when he arrived on October 21, 2025. Read about his first moments!
