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.
It's a Girl!
Asian elephant Sunny gave birth to a healthy calf in the early hours of July 23, 2025. Mother and baby are doing great.
One Here, One on the Way
With Sunny's baby here, and Phoebe's on the way this fall, This is exactly why we expanded the elephant habitat this past year—creating more space for multigenerational herds to thrive.
