Mission
The mission of the Blank Park Zoo is to inspire an appreciation of the natural world through conservation, education and recreation. The Zoo has been a part of the Des Moines metro community since 1963. We manage 49 acres of land; of that, 22 acres have been developed into animal exhibits or facilities. Currently there are 104 different animal species and 1,484 animal specimens cared for at the Zoo. We are proud to be a part of national efforts in endangered species recovery breeding programs. Additionally, the Zoo boasts one of the largest botanical collections in the state of Iowa.
