Toledo, OH , 43614 Phone: 419-385-5721 Website The Toledo Zoo began in 1900 as Toledo Zoological Gardens and was operated by the City of Toledo's Parks Board. In 1982 ownership was transferred from the city to the Toledo Zoological Society.
The zoo participates in over 30 Species Survival Plans and is also a member of the Butterfly Conservation Initiative.
Toledo Zoo has been home to many firsts in the world of zoos; such as the first Hippoquarium (and subsequently the first video of a hippo birth) as well as being the first place in the world to display the Kihansi Spray Toad.
