“We are stewards of this Earth and the ruination of humanity itself is reflected in our majestic woodlands, vast plains and great oceans of our planet. If we are to be an Ark of hope for the species of Earth, it must begin with each of us individually.” Dr. Marc Bradley
You can visit any zoo, but you can only experience Creation Kingdom Zoo! Creation Kingdom Zoo is ranked as one of Virginias Best Zoos and the Tri Cities area’s top attractions. We’ve consistently been voted best of the best! Why? The zoo offers you the adventure of a lifetime, experiencing a variety of animals from around the world.
