Utah's Hogle Zoo : info and guided tour

Overview of Utah's Hogle Zoo

Utah's Hogle Zoo is located east of Salt Lake City at 2600 Sunnyside Ave S, on a large site at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains. The zoo features animals from very different habitats, in a setting that combines zoological areas, landscaped spaces, and wide visitor paths.

The route lets visitors observe iconic species from several regions of the world, with facilities designed to showcase natural habitats as much as the animals themselves. The site is recognized as a major family attraction in Salt Lake City and as a place to discover wildlife.

Beyond the animal visit, Utah's Hogle Zoo is set in a natural environment shaped by nearby hills, local vegetation, and views of the surrounding mountain landscape. Together, these elements give the site the feel of both a wildlife park and a discovery reserve, on a city scale.

In this residential, green neighborhood, the zoo is an important tourist landmark in Salt Lake City. Its location on Sunnyside Avenue, near the eastern edge of the valley, sets it apart from a simple urban park and makes it a place where the zoo experience connects with the mountain scenery.
