Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, OH

Beginning with Zeptha H. Wade's donation of land and a herd of American deer for Wade Park in 1882, the Cleveland Zoo has developed into one of the finest zoos in the nation. Moved from the University Circle area to Brookside Park in the Big Creek Valley in 1916, the zoological collections have continued to grow and regularly draw over one million visitors annually. One of the zoo's major attractions is the RainForest, which re-creates a sense of the Amazon in the heart of Northeast Ohio. Annual events include Boo-at-the-Zoo, Howl at the Moon, and an Earth Day Festival.
