Current non-AZA accredited zoos, aquariums,
nature-wildlife centers and refuges
in the United States
Compiled by Jenna L. Larson,
undergraduate (B.S. Zoology, Zoo & Aquarium concentration),
under the direction of Dr. Richard Snider.
October 2010.
Andrea Winkel created the preliminary list in 2006. Jenna L. Larson, undergraduate student
(Bachelor of Science in Zoology, Zoo and Aquarium Science concentration), under the direction of
Dr. Richard Snider, updated and expanded it in 2010 as part of a research project.
This list of zoos, aquaria and centers was researched and is indexed state-by-state. The document
now represents all the states where these unique facilities are located. Under each state, entries are
alphabetized and, where possible, contain:
Relevant e mail addresses and websites, spelled out and also provided as click sites.
Telephone numbers, if available.
The facility’s “mission” or specialty.
If any of the above information is missing, it is because it could not be identified at this time. As of
October 2010, this list reflects the best information available.
This list is presented to the Zoo and Aquarium industry in the spirit of professional fellowship.
Graduate and undergraduate students in related areas of study may also find this list helpful.
We want the list to accurately reflect the existing facilities. Please help to keep this list current ! To
update information or add new establishments, please send specific relevant information to:
