amarillo zoo

When was the last time Dad went to the zoo?   Why not plan a family outing this weekend and take a trip to the Amarillo Zoo.   Dad can have fun talking to the lion and the tigers and checking out all the creepy crawlies and reptiles.

Two of the most important people in our lives are our mothers and our teachers.   The Amarillo Zoo knows the importance of both and they want to honor them.

Every year the Amarillo Zoo sets aside a day to clean-up the creek and shoreline around the Thompson Park lakes. This is a big endeavor and they need all the help they can get. The more help, the quicker the clean-up goes. If you are looking for a volunteer project to help make one of our city parks more beautiful, then mark your calendars for Clean-Up Day.

Earth Day is coming up and it's going to be a time to celebrate.  It's a day to honor our Earth and a day to bring awareness to our planet and how we should take care of it.  The Amarillo Zoo will be celebrating Earth Day in style.

The Amarillo Zoo is having another fun event for you and the entire family.  This time they want you to ring in the New Year in a fun way.

On of the great gems we have in Amarillo is our zoo.  We have the best zoo because not only to we have great animals, they have an awesome knowledgeable staff available to answer questions and always put on wonderful events.  Now that the holidays are here, ZOOLights returns for the season.  So mark your calendars and make time to bring out the family for this fun event.

Things are in a bit of a mess at Thompson Park.

Christmas time is here!  The Amarillo Zoo is giving you and your family a fun time with Zoo Lights Safari!

The Amarillo Zoo originally opened in Amarillo in 1955.  The original name of the zoo was Storyland Zoo.  Since 1955 the Amarillo Zoo has grown into what it is today.   Coming up on Saturday, May 16th, the Amarillo Zoo will be celebrating in a big way.

Your younger kids can now enjoy learning about animals and the outdoors in their very own special club.  The Amarillo Zoo presents the Lil Wild Ones Nature Club.  The club is open to children ages 6-8 years old.
