Elephants, attendance make 2011 a very 'big' year for Cleveland Metroparks Zoo
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo had a very 'big' 2011. With the May grand opening of the $25 million African Elephant Crossing, the addition of four new grizzly cubs to the Zoo's Northern Trek and ending the year with more than 1.3 milion visitors, the Zoo has lots of reasons for enjoying 2011!
Of course our success would not be possible without the support of the people of Northeast Ohio. You help us consistently outdraw zoos in metropolitan areas much larger than Cleveland, and we are incredibly grateful for your support and enthusiasm. Next year marks the 130th anniversary of Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, making us one of the longest continually operating institutions in the city. We have some great surprises in store that we know you’re going to enjoy. We hope you’ll check us out in 2012 and be with us for the next 130 years!
Happy New Year!

The Game's Afoot at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo (Contest)
The 2012 Noon Year's Eve ball has gone missing! The ball was last seen in the Zoo's Welcome Plaza prepping for the big day. Whoever took it left a trail of clues behind and we've managed to narrow it down to a list of suspects. We hope you can don your best Sherlock Holmes hat with us and help us sort through the clues and figure out who it was.
