Mill Mountain Zoo is a refuge to animals that are critically endangered, vulnerable, or otherwise non-releasable due to injury or captive birth. Not only do we protect and preserve the health and viability of these vulnerable animals in our guardianship. MMZoo is the region's leader in wildlife conservation. Additionally, we participate in research and species survival programs.

At Mill Mountain Zoo, some children are stepping into the boots of real animal caretakers during National Zookeeper Week.
Mill Mountain Zoo proudly shines a spotlight this week on the extraordinary individuals who care for its animals every single day — the dedicated and compassionate members of our animal care team.
The job of a zookeeper is physically demanding, emotionally taxing, and mentally intense — and yet they do it with unwavering dedication, grace, professionalism, skill, and a deep love for the animals and the mission —wildlife and conservation, and education. They’re always observing, anticipating, and problem-solving. No one cares more for these animals than our zookeepers.
