Gardens at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo

The Zoo is a botanical garden demonstrating the relationship between plants and animals. Our grounds are covered with an array of beautiful foliage year-round, from our specialty gardens in summer to our greenhouses and RainForest exhibits in winter. Many of the trees and landscape designs make for an interesting and informative visit no matter what time of year.
