Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden’s 150th Anniversary is shaping up to be one for the books! Keep reading to discover all of the exciting things happening at the zoo recently…
The second and final phase of the new Harry and Linda Fath Elephant Trek is now open! A herd of eight Asian Elephants (Mai Thai, Schottzie, Sabu, Jati, SheRa, Kabir, Anak & Sanjay) are free to roam this world-class five-acre habitat that boasts streams, waterfalls, beautiful gardens and so much more.
Beyond the exquisite elephants, many additional animals can be seen in this remarkably reimagined area of the zoo.
- Silly and sassy, the playful Asian Small-Clawed Otters are full of big personalities. Munti and Flounder love to swim and explore their enclosures, making them a must-visit pair of mammals when visiting the zoo.
- Keep an eye and ear out for the Siamang gibbons, Sebastian and Berbak. These very vocal gibbons are actually the loudest mammals and can be heard a mile away. If you are lucky, you may even see them exploring the unique overhead tunnels of their habitat.
- Rhinoceros Hornbills Blake and Remi also call the Elephant Trek home now.
The Trek also has unique photo ops, games for children, gardens and more to explore. Families can check out the Elephant Trek at Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden which is open daily 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
Currently the Zoo Blooms are on full display, with over one million daffodils, hyacinths, flowering trees, shrubs and other spring bulbs exploding with color!

This FREE event will take place from 6-8:30 p.m. and this exciting event will actually be the zoo’s Earth Day Celebration, also!
