Mission

It is the mission of the Alexandria Zoological Park to promote understanding and conservation of the natural world in which we live.

The Alexandria Zoological Park strives to:

Provide the citizens of Alexandria and Central Louisiana with recreational and educational experiences while viewing an organized collection of animals.

Increase services to our community by development of new educational programs and to continue with the conservation of endangered species.

Develop research or cooperative endeavors with other agencies such as colleges and universities.

Increase attendance through the implementation of the Zoo's adopted master plan, thereby insuring an increase in revenue and providing better living conditions for our zoo animals.

Uphold the standards set forth by the USDA and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) for animal husbandry, thereby insuring our continued accreditation by the AZA.
