January 5-9, 2026, the North Carolina Zoo and Zoo hiking trails will be closed for staff training and maintenance in the park.
The year 1994 was memorable at the Zoo as it’s when the North America region opened and when three polar bear siblings arrived, creating a statewide buzz. Our current polar bear stars are joined by black bears, red wolves and hundreds of other animals in this diverse region.
