Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden

The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden is the second-oldest zoo in the United States, established in 1875. It is home to over 500 animal species and a vast collection of more than 3,000 plant species set across 65 acres. Notable exhibits include the world-renowned Gorilla World and the vibrant, fragrant botanical gardens. Allocate a few hours for exploration to fully enjoy the diverse animal habitats and landscaped gardens. The zoo can be especially pleasant in spring, when the flowers are in bloom. It is located just north of downtown Cincinnati, making it easily accessible for a visit combined with other nearby attractions.
