The Children’s Zoo at Celebration Square strives to ignite awareness of, excitement in, and concern for animals and the natural world and its conservation in people of all ages. 

The Children's Zoo Believes

• All life exists within an ecosystem.

• Human beings are an intergral part of all ecosystems.

• Healthy ecosystems provide many essential services and benefits that sustain and improve human lives. 

• The human experience requires a connection to nature. These experiences in wild places in our community enrich our lives and inspire our choices for future generations.

• Human beings are responsible for dramatic changes to ecosystems at a rate unprecedented in Earth’s history.

• We have the responsibility to care for the Earth, to leave healthy ecosystems for our families and future generations.

• Through informed actions, we can positively impact ecosystems.

• Responsible zoos and aquariums strive to conserve ecosystems and promote care and positive action for the natural world.
