Here’s to Another 60 Years

Proudly celebrating 60 years of excellence in animal care

In August of 1963, the Santa Barbara Zoo opened its doors to the public. For six decades, the Zoo has been dedicated to the preservation, conservation, and enhancement of the natural world and its living treasures. We are also proud to be a beloved destination for generations of families, tourists, and locals alike.

For questions, please contact the Zoo’s Advancement Department at (805) 962-5339 or email donate@sbzoo.org.
