“We are stewards of this Earth and the ruination of humanity itself is reflected in the great forests, plains and 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. The zoo offers you the opportunity to experience a variety of animals from around the world. From Giraffe, bears, leopards, and apes to camels, zebra, wildebeest and many species of primates, you’ll see conservation at work. Daily keeper talks will answer your questions about the animals we care for and our role in preserving them for future generations. We are a proud conservation partner with the Species Survival Program (SSP). Take your time, purchase some animal food and enjoy nature. We are minutes from Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, and the surrounding area. Plan your visit today by starting on our Visitor Information page.
