The North Carolina Zoo is now hiring for a variety of seasonal positions. Apply Today!
The gorilla habitat will be closed starting Jan. 18 for a few months due to habitat upgrades.
Take your Zoo day to the next level and plan to attend a "Meet the Keeper" encounter where you can see a range of activities from animal feedings to training sessions. You may need to check the feeding times posted for some animals at their habitats the day of your visit. Look for the "Meet the Keeper" signs. (Times subject to change.)
