2022 marks the 100th year of Oakland Zoo. Its locations may have changed over the years, but the goal has always been the same: Taking Action for wildlife conservation, providing exceptional care for our animal ambassadors, and offering an inspiring and enjoyable destination for Bay Area families.

For our centennial year we've done a deep dive into our archives to find magical Zoo moments of years past. Additionally, loyal members and guests have reached out to share their own experiences, stories, and images. We're thrilled to be able to share these special moments in time that chronicle the evolution of the zoo, from its original iteration as the Snow Museum to the Oakland Zoo you know and love today.
