From the plains of Africa to your own backyard, your Virginia Zoo has a world of discovery waiting for you.  Open year round, the Virginia Zoo offers family fun, education and excitement for everyone.

Travel to Africa and enter a world of wonderment.  Just beyond the African market village lays an African savannah - home to giraffes, rhinos, mandrills, bongo and more.  The boardwalk through Africa allows you to take a walking safari and experience the animals in their naturalistic habitats of Africa.

Wildlife from around the globe continues just around the corner - tigers, squirrel monkeys, ocelots and slithering snakes, just to name a few.  You can even come nose to nose with a prairie dog in the interactive prairie dog habitat where viewing bubbles allow you to get up close and personal with these entertaining and magnificent creatures.

The Virginia Zoo is open from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. daily except New Years Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas.  The Virginia Zoo is located at 3500 Granby Street in Norfolk. Admission prices are $6.00 for adults, $5.00 for seniors (age 62 and over), and $4.00 for children ages 2-11. 

See you at the Zoo!
