Mill Mountain Zoo is an accredited 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to education and wildlife conservation. The Zoo is a unique outdoor family friendly destination located on top of Mill Mountain that offers 360-degree views of the Roanoke Valley where guests can experience animals in an environment similar to their native habitat and learn about our conservation efforts with endangered, vulnerable and threatened species around the world. Mill Mountain Zoo provides refuge to animals that are non-releasable due to injury, captive birth, and owner-relinquishment. For community members that cannot come to the Zoo, we provide educational outreach programs at schools, retirement communities and libraries. As a Zoological Association of America (ZAA) accredited and esteemed facility, we take pride in the superior level of care given to the animals in our guardianship.
