MARYLAND ZOO
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND

Maryland Zoo In Baltimore is the third oldest zoo in the country, behind Philadelphia and Cincinnati. It actually had its beginnings as early as 1862, when the first of many citizens gave animals (the first being 4 swans) to Druid Hill Park for public display.

Today the 160-plus acre zoo property is owned by the City of Baltimore and leased to the State of Maryland. Currently the Zoo’s animal collection encompasses more than 1,500 birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles, representing nearly 200 species. Animals are displayed in natural settings replicating their native habitats.

It is home to our ZT polar bear Magnet. Polar Bear Watch, the Zoo's new state-of-the-art exhibit about life on the edge of the Arctic, features an authentic Tundra Buggy® from which visitors can watch Alaska and Magnet cavort in and out of the water.
