Utica Zoological Society (Utica Zoo)

The Utica Zoological Society (Utica Zoo) is the nonprofit behind the city’s zoo, a family favorite where visitors can see exotic and domestic animals from all over the world. The zoo sits in Roscoe Conkling Park in Utica, the seat of Oneida County, and it is a familiar place for family outings.

A visit is a chance to connect with nature without leaving the Mohawk Valley, and the zoo is geared toward families with kids. It makes a popular outing in warm weather, with a stroll past animals large and small and plenty of room for little ones to point and wonder.
