About Us: Welcome to Reid Park Zoo
Our Founding and Journey
In 2012, a group of passionate animal lovers and conservation enthusiasts came together with a vision—to create an online sanctuary dedicated to the magnificent Reid Park Zoo and its mission. We launched Reid Park Zoo website in 2013 as a digital hub to share knowledge, inspire curiosity, and connect our community with the amazing animals and conservation efforts within the zoo.
Over the years, we’ve celebrated numerous milestones:

- 2015: Introduction of our monthly virtual tours, bringing the zoo experience to online visitors worldwide.
- 2017: Expansion of our team and launch of an interactive map for enhanced user navigation.
- 2019: Achieved over one million page views, solidifying our impact as a trusted source of zoo information.
