The Roosevelt Park Zoo is a zoo in Minot, North Dakota, the oldest zoo in North Dakota. It opened in 1921 and the first animal exhibition featured the American Bison. In 1970, the zoo was separated from the city-owned Roosevelt Park and the Greater Minot Zoological Society was created to operate the zoo, it is the oldest zoo in North Dakota.You can plan Minot trip in no time by asking Inspirock to help create your itinerary.
The zoo is open May through September. The flood of 1969 caused every bird and animal to be moved from the zoo, which led to the redesign of the zoo grounds. A foot bridge, a feline house, and a new bear den were constructed. The 2011 Souris River Flood caused the animals once again to be relocated from the zoo. Due to cleanup efforts on the grounds and buildings, the zoo did not open for the 2012 season. The Zoo re-opened on May 4 of 2013.

The whole zoo is amazing. Just perfect. Just big enough that you got to see a wide variety but small enough that it wasn't tiring.

My wife and I really enjoyed this zoo; especially the personal giraffe feeding which was only $5/person and you get to hand feed the giraffes lettuce. The zoo itself isn't overly large and easy to walk yet had a nice selection of animals to enjoy. The female tiger had 3 very active and entertaining cubs. The male Tiger was sleeping above us on a catwalk and actually drooled on us when he woke up. The staff are very nice and helpful. The animals look happy and healthy. The enclosures allow you get up and close with some of the animals. Definitely will be going back the next time we come to Minot.

Such a cute little zoo. Very unique animals. My kiddos sure had a great time. I wish they had more wagons but seems they only had a few. Definitely would recommend this place. The prices weren’t bad at all.
