Blank Park zoo

Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines has a fun event happening right now!

The little fella was born earlier this week.

When large events are finally a part of our daily lives again, there will be a new place to host them here in Iowa!

Another member of the Blank Park Zoo family is no longer with us.

Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines is mourning the loss of one of their animals this week.

What's cuter than a baby animal? The answer is NOTHING.

She was introduced to visitors at the zoo yesterday, just one day after she turned five weeks old.

Her birth was celebrated, less than two years ago.

The zoo has had a dozen births in a little over a year and the latest weighed just one pound.

The midwest is blessed with some of the greatest zoos in the country and several of them are in the running to be named best zoo in the country.
