Mission & Vision

The Memphis Zoo's mission is to connect people with wildlife.

Our vision is to preserve wildlife through education, conservation and research. Aware that the zoo of tomorrow begins today, our staff and volunteers are dedicated to providing a naturalistic and enriching sanctuary for our animals, and a clean, friendly, entertaining and educational experience for our guests. Together, we are building one of the world’s great zoos.

Please take a moment to visit our pages on education and conservation programs at the Memphis Zoo.
