Little Rock Zoo

The Little Rock Zoo is one of the most popular sights in Little Rock, Arkansas and the sprawling grounds are home to over 700 animals from all corners of the globe. The park is divided into four sections (North, South, East, and West). One of the best places to start your visit is the North zone, which is home to the big cats (always a favorite) and some of the larger African mammals like rhinos (the elephants are in the South).

Another favorite stop is the West zone with its bears and giraffe barn. You can get up close and personal with these long-necked gentle giants and even feed them from the palm of your hand! Also, don't miss the great apes in the East part, especially Trudy the Gorilla, something of a local celebrity in Little Rock.
