Chattanooga Zoo

Chattanooga Zoo is a compact 13-acre zoo in Warner Park, focused on conservation education and community engagement. Despite its modest size, the zoo houses an impressive collection of animals and is particularly known for its chimpanzee and red panda programs, both of which contribute to AZA Species Survival Plans.

The zoo’s Combe Chimpanzee Ridge — named in honor of primatologist Jane Goodall — is a state-of-the-art chimpanzee habitat, and the Red Panda Passage offers intimate encounters with these charismatic Himalayan mammals. Chattanooga Zoo demonstrates that smaller institutions can make significant contributions to wildlife conservation.

Chattanooga Zoo holds AZA accreditation and serves as an important educational resource for the greater Chattanooga community.
