Our Vision:

The Zoo will empower our guests to respect, value and care for our natural resources, as we commit to contributing globally to the conservation and preservation of wildlife. As a regional resource in the Central Florida area and beyond, we will provide innovative and creative solutions through collaboration, practices and partnerships. The continued growth and development of the Zoo will further enhance its attraction to visitors outside the local community enabling us to bring national and international attention to the importance and ongoing efforts of wildlife sustainability.

Core Values:

• Protect – we passionately commit our expertise and resources to saving animals and to ensuring their long-term survival
• Innovate – we strive to discover solutions through progressive practices and partnerships in education, conservation and preservation
• Engage – we connect people with wildlife and wild places and create opportunities to inspire our guests to respect, value and care for the natural world
• Empower – we give our guests, staff, volunteers and the communities we serve the knowledge and tools to take positive action for all species
