Potter Park Zoo, Lansing

The Zoo encompasses over 20 acres and features more than 500 individual animals representing approximately 160 different species. As an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and participant in its Species Survival Plan (SSP) programs, we are committed to the preservation of endangered animals and are actively developing strategies that will help protect species and preserve their wild habitats. Through education, conservation, research and recreation, Potter Park Zoo provides a wonderfully wild experience for students and families.

The Potter Park Zoological Society strives to teach each visitor and participant in educational programs what they can do to conserve animals in the natural world – both world wide and in their own backyard. The Society raises funds by managing the membership program, producing family events, grant writing, conducting educational programs, and coordinating fundraising activities. The Potter Park Zoological Society is a private, 501 (c) 3, non-profit organization that supports Potter Park Zoo.
