Find Your Adventure at the Brandywine Zoo
Watch Red Pandas
Catch our red pandas chowing down on their favorite snack — bamboo — or snoozing on a branch. Red pandas are an endangered species and are part of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) Species Survival Plan Program, a cooperative conservation-breeding program across accredited AZA zoos.
See Andean Condors
Visit the Andean condors, and measure your wingspan against the world’s largest bird of prey and the second-largest flying bird on the planet. You'll see bird-strike protection on the viewing window and learn how to make your home safer for birds.
Visit the Barnyard
Bring your camera for a unique chance to interact with a variety of domestic goat and chicken breeds. The whole family will have fun meeting, and maybe even brushing, these friendly, furry animals.
Explore the Nature Playground
Complete your outdoor experience by getting in touch with nature. Crawl through our giant log, explore small natural items in our loose parts bins, and practice your balance on our stepping block logs. Observe birds and bugs at our bird blind and insect hotels. Leave, read, or borrow a book at our Little Free Library.
About the Zoo
Right in the heart of Wilmington lies the Brandywine Zoo, which houses and connects humans with exotic and endangered animals. Founded in the early 1900s, the zoo went through various phases of animals including wolves, a hyena, buffalo, bears and even a lion. The Delaware Zoological Society was founded in the late 1970s to help the zoo carry out its mission. Soon after, the Brandywine Zoo became accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the gold-standard for modern zoological practices. The Brandywine Zoo now performs a variety of conservation efforts including urban wildlife monitoring, a straw-free single-use plastics campaign, and Bird-Friendly Coffee. The zoo’s new Madagascar exhibit brings gives visitors an up-close view of the charismatic lemurs. Don’t miss the world’s largest bird of prey, the Andean condors, and the world’s smallest deer, the pudu. The zoo also offers opportunities to interact with animals through its Barnyard with goats and chickens, and ambassador animals that help teach the public about their species.
Visiting the Zoo
Fall, winter, and cloudy days are a good time to visit the Zoo — it's less crowded, and many of the animals are more active. If you choose to visit on a hot day, try to come early or a few hours before closing. Please note that some of our tropical animals may not be visible on days below 50°F.
When planning a visit to the Zoo, be sure and check the zoo’s Calendar of Events and Facebook pages for upcoming programs, as well as maintenance, event or weather-related closings. When you arrive, check the daily schedule posted at the front of the zoo for opportunities to watch animal feedings, animal training sessions, keeper talks or animal shows.
