Keeper Cam! 📷 A fun perspective of one of our red pandas, photographed by Keeper Bernadette.

Red pandas are expert climbers who spend much of their time in the trees.

Soon, they’ll have even more space to climb, explore and thrive in Red Panda Passage, our new expanded exhibit opening in spring 2027!

10 years of the Red River Zoo’s wildest community event of the year! 🍻🐾

Zoo Brew wasn’t just about sipping on drinks. It was our community coming together to celebrate and support our nonprofit zoo and the animals we care for.

Our team poured their hearts into this event, and we can’t say THANK YOU enough to our generous sponsors at Happy Harrys, our amazing vendors, Tripwire Fargo, our entire Zoo Crew, our incredible volunteers, and everyone who came out to support us.

ALL FOR THE RED RIVER ZOO. 💚

And the fun doesn’t stop here! Check out redriverzoo.org for upcoming events!

CONSIDER: Joining us for the tenth anniversary of Happy Harry's Zoo Brew.

You should come.
