buttonwood park zoo

Two of the SouthCoast’s most beloved residents, Emily and Ruth, have received new enrichment items through the “Toys for Elephants” program.

An EGG-citing event for the little ones!

Mommy and daddy, Madeira and Crumpet, are doing well!

Children are free all day at Buttonwood Park Zoo on Black Friday as long as they are accompanied by a paying adult.

Judges saw hundreds of children march by their table competing for different prizes in the costume parade. See just some of the cute costumes here.

BOO at the Zoo at the Buttonwood Park Zoo, is cancelled for tonight, Saturday, October 27, due to expected heavy rain and high winds.

You and your little ones are welcome to roam the zoo in full costume to enjoy the day's festivities!

A celebration in honor of National Elephant Appreciation Day, Ruth's 60th birthday, and the 50th anniversary of Emily joining the Zoo family.

The staff said goodbye to a beloved creature this morning.

The newest addition was born on August 9.
