The Como Park Zoo and Conservatory, located in Saint Paul, is open 365 days per year. Through their mission, the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory hopes to inspire the public to value the presence of living things in our lives.

Admission to the zoo is free, but donations are always appreciated. A voluntary donation of $4 per adult and $2 per child is suggested if you are able to help the team care for the plants and animals.
