Idaho Falls Zoo at Tautphaus Park

Idaho Falls Zoo at Tautphaus Park is an AZA-accredited zoological facility affectionately known as the "Best Little Zoo in the West," nestled within the scenic Tautphaus Park in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Spanning approximately ten developed acres, the zoo is home to around 130 species from across the globe, with standout residents including snow leopards and gray gibbons. Conservation is a cornerstone of the zoo's mission, exemplified by participation in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan and recent additions such as a male snow leopard named Lenny. Families can enjoy a range of educational programs including Zoo Tots classes, summer camps, and Zoomobiles community outreach initiatives. Visitors also have access to Funland, a restored historic amusement park area within Tautphaus Park, making the zoo a beloved destination for all ages in eastern Idaho.
