ZooMontana Map and Brochure (2024 – 2021)
Location: Billings, Montana
Years Active: 1995 – Active
Forget those fancy zoos. ZooMontana shows you Montana’s wild side – grizzlies, wolves, the tough critters that survive here. Enclosures are small, and that’s controversial. Are the animals cramped, or does it get you closer to their reality? ZooMontana doesn’t hide the harsh truths, which can be unsettling.
Animals aren’t on your schedule. Be patient, or hit up keeper talks for action. ZooFari is Billings’ best summer party – live music, local brews, maybe even a coyote joining the chorus. WinterFest is the opposite – eerie, quiet, with animal tracks in the snow.

In 2024, ZooMontana opened the Foster Waterfowl Refuge, designed as a natural flythrough habitat with waterfalls, native plants, and underwater fish viewing. The zoo introduced grizzly bear cubs George and Willie after the passing of Bruno in late 2023. ZooMontana renewed its Certified Autism Center™ designation to improve accessibility. Operational highlights included hosting a re-homing event for non-native aquatic pets, the return of Boo at the Zoo on October 26, and Holiday Nights running from November 29 to December 31.
