Learn about the Salisbury Zoo’s animals. The animals listed under “Birds,” “Mammals” and “Reptiles and Amphibians” are on exhibit at the Zoo. Ambassador Animals are not on exhibit but are part of educational programs.

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 Salisbury Zoo offers free admission and free parking, but we rely heavily on donations. The Zoo is open from 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. every day, except Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Salisbury Zoo is nestled along a branch of the Wicomico River on 13 acres in Salisbury, Maryland.
