The Salisbury Zoological Park is committed to enhancing our quality of life by providing a friendly, relaxing environment where educational and recreational opportunities come together through participation and interaction. With its animals, staff, volunteers, and park-like setting, the zoo encourages an appreciation of wildlife and inspires conservation of our natural world.
The Salisbury Zoo, located in Salisbury, Maryland, was founded in 1954 when some animals were placed on permanent exhibition in the City Park. The Zoo’s present form resulted from improvements made in the 1970s. The Zoo now provides naturalistic enclosures for species native to North, Central and South America. The Salisbury Zoo is accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums. The Zoo’s policy is maintained by the Salisbury Zoo Commission, Inc. whose nine members are appointed by the Salisbury City Council. The Zoo is funded in-part by the Salisbury Zoo Commission and by the City of Salisbury.

Great experience, we loved the road trip stop here. For free admission, this zoo provided 30-60 minutes of walking/viewing pleasure, which is pretty solid. It definitely felt like they took care of their habitats, and it was a pleasant experience.

I’ve have taken granddaughters and this little zoo never disappoints. The animals are well care for , there are maps at the beginning of the zoo to navigate our way through. The facilities are well kept . There is also a huge play ground right next to the zoo and within the park .

Free entry & parking , well maintained, playground attached, gift shop, clean bathrooms and nice view of the animals! Perfect place to take the family for a walk/ outing. I suggest mornings to avoid larger crowds!
