Welcome to Franklin Park Zoo!

Franklin Park Zoo, founded in 1913, is the 72-acre site nestled in Boston's historic Franklin Park, long considered the “crown jewel” of Frederick Law Olmsted’s Emerald Necklace Park System. Highlights of Franklin Park Zoo’s collection include the African lions of the Kalahari Kingdom, Masai giraffe and Grevy’s zebra of the Giraffe Savannah, and western lowland gorillas of the Tropical Forest.

Animals Have Escaped! HELP!!

Yesterday one of the zookeepers forgot to lock the zoo cages and many of our animals escaped. We think some of the animals must have formed a club and helped others escape, carrying whales and sharks into the ocean and helping flying creatures open their cages.

The animals seem to be heading to New Hampshire and Southern Maine. There have been sightings at the York Tollbooth.

PLEASE help us by creating wanted posters of the animals and posting them around your home, schools and communities. Include descriptions, behaviors, and habitats. Most importantly, please let people know if the animal is a danger to humans!!!
