Akron Zoos Largest Expansion Ever: Giraffes, Wildebeests, and Ostriches Coming Soon!
The Akron Zoo is set to unveil its most significant expansion yet, a sixteen-acre project featuring new habitats for giraffes, wildebeests, and ostriches. This addition, expected to break ground this summer, will be the zoos largest project in its seventy-three-year history.
Visitors can look forward to interactive feeding spots for the giraffes, indoor and outdoor spaces for the animals during Ohio winters, and a rentable event space near the giraffe yard. The zoo is also planning a family-friendly ride and spots for concessions and shopping.
The project has received approval from the city planning commission, and the zoo is working on final approvals. Construction is expected to be completed in about two years, with new attractions ready by summer 2026.
The zoo remains open three hundred sixty-one days a year, with off-season hours from eleven a.m. to four p.m. Admission ranges from eleven to twenty-one dollars, and its free for kids two and under, with free parking available. For more information, visit akronzoo.org.
