Zoo Idaho is a zoo in Pocatello, Idaho, that features animals native to the Intermountain West and has been open since 1932. The zoo has more than 100 animals representing about 40 different species. It is one of two zoos in the United States specializing in animals native to the Intermountain West. Zoo Idaho is the only zoo to incorporate the Shoshone-Bannock tribal culture into its program and design. The zoo itself sits on a natural landscape covering 25 acres in Ross Park. For many of the exhibits there is a 40-foot high lava cliff as a backdrop. The cliff divides the zoo into two levels known as Upper and Lower Ross Park. It also offers 900-square-foot tree house, 30-foot high teepee, and a petting zoo area of barnyard animals. During the school year the zoo has established the Zoo Outreach Program, where employees bring a piece of the zoo into the classrooms of 3,000 school children each year. An additional 3,000 students visit the zoo on field trips in April and May alone. Zoo Idaho holds spring and summer programs and camps, which it holds in an outdoor classroom called the Tall Tales Tent.
