The future is bright at the Oakland Zoo. We have big dreams and plans that will transform the Zoo and put us on the map as one of the most recognized Zoos in the country, especially for our humane treatment of animals and our world-wide conservation efforts.

In addition to our new veterinary hospital and BioDiversity Center, Oakland Zoo plans to break ground on a transformational project, the California Trail in 2015 that will further our commitments to animal care, education, and conservation.
History The Oakland Zoo has been serving the community since 1922 in locations all across Oakland, finally settling in Knowland Park. Learn about our history and our success in growing the Zoo from a small personal collection to the gem of the East Bay.
