A modern Welcome Center will meet the growing demand for visitation, while expanded classroom and teaching facilities can meet our community’s needs for increased ZooCamp sessions, adult learning opportunities, and learning experience for those with special needs. These new buildings will also showcase the Zoo’s commitment to sustainability and conservation, with water recapture, solar panels, and other features that reduce the Zoo’s carbon footprint.

Once completed, the 1.5 million-cubic-foot Tropics Complex will be the only one of its kind in North America. New and unique play features, vantage points at multiple elevations, and an indoor rainforest will draw year-round visitors from our region and beyond.

The Tropics Complex will allow us to bring back primates and lemurs along with other species of Madagascar and Borneo, helping to tell the impressive story of how Seneca Park Zoo and this community have significantly contributed to conservation efforts of endangered species in these fragile ecosystems. Accessibility and sustainability features are integral to the design of this incredible new structure.
