Fascination awaits at Peoria Zoo! A global array of animals are cared for inside, including Amur tigers, white rhinos, African lions, giraffes, and different species of monkeys.
Your Peoria Zoo tickets will give you access to six exhibits that focus on different regions in the world, including Africa, Australia, Asia, and the tropics, plus a Contact Barn and a Conservation Center_.
The Africa Exhibit – Zambezi River Village – recreates the African grasslands. This is where you'll find the lions, rhinos, giraffes, and zebras. You can also expect to see forest dwelling species like the Red River Hogs and Colobus monkeys. Continue on the path through the exhibit and see the bright colors of the mandrills, one of the largest species of monkey in the world.
As you head toward the Asian Trail, listen out for the rumble of the tiger's roar. Inside this exhibit you'll see the Amur tiger, plus the Galapagos tortoise. Head over to the Australian Walk About next where emus, kookaburras, and wallabies await.
In the Conservation Center you'll find rare reptiles like the Chinese alligator and the green-and-black poison dart frog. Before you go, pop into the Contact Barn to see the animals that are more cute than carnivore.
