ExZOOberation: Riverfront Rendezvous

Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens proudly celebrates 100 years at our beloved home along the Trout River, where we’ve flourished since relocating in 1925.

To honor this milestone, we invite you to ExZOOberation: Riverfront Rendezvous, an enchanting evening celebrating Jacksonville’s dynamic waterways and shorelines, all set to the soulful rhythms of jazz. This year’s theme reflects our deep-rooted connection to the riverfront that has shaped our history and mission. It also brings focus to our impactful water and shoreline conservation projects, safeguarding the vital ecosystems that are essential to both wildlife and our community.
