The Salisbury Zoological Park is committed to enhancing our quality of life by providing a friendly, relaxing environment where educational and recreational opportunities come together through participation and interaction. With its animals, staff, volunteers, and park-like setting, the zoo encourages an appreciation of wildlife and inspires conservation of our natural world.

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 Zoo now provides naturalistic enclosures for species native to North, Central and South America. The Salisbury Zoo is accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums. The Zoo’s policy is maintained by the Salisbury Zoo Commission, Inc. whose nine members are appointed by the Salisbury City Council. The Zoo is funded in-part by the Salisbury Zoo Commission and by the City of Salisbury.

Salisbury Zoological Park is such a gem.
It’s completely free to visit (which is amazing), though they do accept donations—and honestly, they deserve every bit of support. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to chat and share info about the animals. The grounds are clean, well maintained, and you can really see the care that goes into every enclosure. Over the years, the park has continued to grow and improve, and it’s clear they prioritize the well-being of their animals. Whether you’re local or just passing through, it’s absolutely worth a visit.

We absolutely love this Free Zoo! We highly recommend making a small donation. They have a great selection of animals, they are well cared for. The playground is awesome. This is a great spot to take a break from the beach.

Beautiful place. Free admission, but you can make a donation in the box at the entrance. Animals all seemed very well cared for and had good sized exhibits. We were there during feeding time, so it was cool to see all of the activity. The grounds were well maintained and trash free.
Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.
