Reid Park Zoo Full Tour - Tucson, Arizona
The Reid Park Zoo, founded in 1967, is a 24-acre (9.7 ha) city-owned and -operated nonprofit zoo located within Reid Park in Tucson, Arizona. The zoo features more than 500 animals. It was unofficially established in 1965 by Gene Reid, the parks and recreation director at the time. The zoo receives approximately 500,000 visitors each year. It is accredited and certified with the Association of Zoos & Aquariums.
Exhibits
Reid Park Zoo consists of four zones that are organized by the types of habitats and animals they house.
The Adaptation Zone houses animals such as the grizzly bear and Aldabra giant tortoise
The South America zone houses animals such as the jaguar and spectacled bear
The Asian zone features the tiger
The African Animals zone features animals such as the lion and giraffe. The African Animals zone also houses a 7-acre expansion (Expedition Tanzania), which was opened to the public in 2012. A large aviary named Flight Connection hosts dozens of species of birds from Australia, Africa, and Asia.

I was very impressed with the look of the zoo and habitats. The animals had stimulation and room to move around. Thanks for your comment

I always mention that when you support your local zoo, good things happen. New expansion and remodeling is always welcome, especially when new animals are added.
Grew up with this ZOO. In the 70s evert thing was in small chain link cages. In 76 a lion even sprayed my family as we were viewing them

My local zoo was much like that until it was basically rebuilt to a modern zoo. I am very glad that cages are a thing of the past at most zoo's. It should be the comfort of the animals that should come first.
A better zoo than Washington D.C. zoo especially after many of their exotic animals are gone. Enjoyed watching, thanks Tom 👍

Both zoo's have their good parts, hopefully both will obtain new animals
Amazing Video Tom, The Habitats at this zoo look very natural looking. Also when you go on your Road Trip to the Northeast if you have time you should check out the New England Aquarium in Boston, Massachusetts because it's a very Gorgeous Aquarium

It was but I understand the need for repairs to the habitat
Did you know that after the Elephants got their new exhibit it was temporarily used for Camel Rides but they shut it down after the Camels contracted an infection and that's how it became the Goat Exhibit
