Since 1905, Stone Zoo has been a wildlife haven in the Greater Boston area, spanning 26 acres and home to over 1,000 animals from around the world. Once famous for its elephants and giraffes, today the zoo is known for its unique habitats like Yukon Creek, where black bears, Arctic foxes, and reindeer roam a simulated boreal forest, and Treasures of the Sierra Madre, home to jaguars, cougars, and Gila monsters. Other highlights include the Caribbean Coast aviary, featuring flamingos and macaws, and Treetops & Riverbeds, where otters and gibbons swing through the trees.
Beyond its year-round exhibits, Stone Zoo transforms in the winter with ZooLights, a dazzling holiday display that draws thousands of visitors annually. As an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the zoo is dedicated to conservation and education, making it a must-visit for families, wildlife lovers, and anyone looking for an up-close encounter with nature.
