About this dataset

  • This map contains 708 mapped records for US zoos. OpenStreetMap coverage depends on local contributors.
  • The map includes zoo locations within the United States. It excludes records that explicitly prohibit access or identify a private site. Area and line records use their mapped bounding-box centre. A centre can be outside an irregular shape and does not mark an entrance.
  • Select a feature to read its name and source fields. Use the source link to inspect the original record.
  • The OpenStreetMap snapshot date is 2026-09-14T22:47:02Z. The dataset was prepared on 15 September 2026.
  • Records marked private or with no access are excluded. Missing access tags do not confirm that a zoo is open to visitors.
