About Maryland Zoo

Founded in 1876, at the Maryland Zoo, we are All for Animals! Our staff has the unique opportunity to work in a welcoming, exciting, and historic environment, with a corporate mission to entertain, inspire, and educate others to support the conservation efforts of wildlife and wild places.

From our animals to our workforce, we recognize and cultivate diversity and inclusion. Through the celebration of our differences, we create respectful, thoughtful, and positive engagement with our neighboring communities, outreach audiences, and zoo guests.
