Samudra's Birthday Party

We are throwing an elephant-sized party for Samudra, the baby elephant. The zoo's Elephant Plaza will be filled with a village of inflatable houses and slides for kids to play on. Keeper talks and elephant enrichment activities will be going on throughout the day. Guests who really want to get into the swing of things can wear a pair of "Happy Birthday" elephant ears. Decorate-your-own-cupcakes will be available for purchase.

Oregon Zoo Summer Concerts, presented by NW Natural

World class artists performing under the stars at the zoo's amphitheater — it's magical! All concert proceeds help us feed the animals and support our conservation programs.

Prehistoric Predators

Fierce hunters and their nimble prey face off on an ancient rainforest trail featuring dinosaurs found around the world, including an intimidating Giganotosaurus. The path also features activity stations to unearth fossils and photo-opportunity spots. Identification posts geared to all ages explain the differences and similarities to present day predators and their prey. Tickets for this special exhibit are $3.50 in addition to general zoo admission.
