ZooMontana is a 70-acre (28 ha) wildlife park located in Billings, Montana, U.S. and is Montana's only zoo and botanical park. It currently maintains nearly 100 animals, representing 58 species. These animals all live in habitats designed to imitate their natural habitats.

The zoo was incorporated and established as a non-profit 501 C (3) organization in 1982. It focuses on year-round wildlife native to Montana, the Rocky Mountains, and other cold temperature regions at or above the 45th Parallel. Indoor habitats include animals from around the world. The zoo hosts over 80,000 visitors per year. Canyon Creek runs through the center of the zoo's grounds, creating a natural and tranquil park-like setting. 2018 marked the establishment of the Yellowstone Arboretum located on the ZooMontana grounds, containing a large selection of native and non-native trees.

ZooMontana is an intimate place with just enough to keep children enthused. Adults will like the size of the zoo because it is small enough to see in a morning or afternoon. We thoroughly enjoyed...

Good for a small zoo. There are not many animals, but the grounds are very nice and provide a great place for a nice walk.

A great example of what a zoo SHOULD be. Each enclosure was totally true to that animal's natural habitat, with lots of space and no overcrowding. You get great value for money - allow 1.5-2 hours to fully explore the zoo and its gardens.

Zoo Montana is a gem in our city of Billings. Although it may not have the exotic collections of big city zoos, it is a wonderful place to stroll and enjoy nature. It has well designed, attractive natural habitats for the animals, and you can usually see them up close-up if it’s not too hot out. Tigers, bears, red panda, otters, wolves, and other animals with beautiful nature trails and playgrounds for the kids. We and our grandkids never get tired of it.
