ZooAmerica Map and Brochure (2025 – 2006)
Location: Hershey, Pennsylvania
Years Active: 1910 – Active
ZooAmerica in Hershey, Pennsylvania, has you covered. This historic zoo started small – think a few deer and birds. Now, it’s a sprawling home for over 200 interesting creatures across 11 acres!
Here’s a little secret: While ZooAmerica’s awesome for spotting North American wildlife, it’s not the glitzy, glamorous zoo experience you might expect. It prioritizes animal care over fancy exhibits. This means supporting some rare and endangered species behind the scenes, too.
ZooAmerica is part of the Hershey empire, connected right to Hersheypark. That means your amusement park ticket gets you in – a sweet bonus!

Later in June, ZooAmerica introduced the Hello Harvest vending machine, offering fresh food selections such as crisp greens, pasta salad, and yogurt parfaits.
