buttonwood zoo

New Bedford's Buttonwood Park Zoo is growing with the birth of three new American beaver kits on May 16.

Buttonwood Park Zoo hosts an event to welcome all incoming Kindergarten students of New Bedford Public Schools.

The beloved cow suffered from chronic arthritis.

Zoobilation will bring friends and families together to enjoy the Zoo and all it has to offer at a celebration designed for children and adults.

This free, invitation-only event was open exclusively to families of children with chronic healthcare needs and disabilities.

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.

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 Zoo has partnered with Nature Explore, a national research-based company, to design this natural learning center.

These red balls of fluff will make their debut this summer
