For more than two decades, the communities throughout the Acadiana and southwest Louisiana areas have cherished and grown with the zoo. From humble beginnings as a small menagerie in the early 1990s to today’s accredited zoological park, Zoosiana – Zoo of Acadiana continues to proudly connect guests to the natural world through a strong commitment to education, conservation, and up-close-and-personal, pure excitement.

Over 750 animals from more than 130 species call Zoosiana home. Zoosiana’s commitment to conservation through the breeding and preservation of endangered species has fostered a true sense of pride in the hearts of guests, as the animals are the most important part of a zoo.

Zoosiana employs about 25 people and provides daily care to all of its animals. The numerous education programs demonstrate the importance of the world’s animals and show that everyone can do a small part to help make the world a better place that will continue to include animals.
