The Zoo is home to over 90 species including mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, fish and arachnids. It is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).

- Highlights of the zoo include the Rocky Coasts exhibit which contains polar bears, sea lions and penguins. The polar bears and sea lions may be viewed above ground or through underwater viewing glass. Another addition is the Genesee Trail section, which includes an otter exhibit and an outdoor river habitat which has a small playground and wading area for younger children. A cougar exhibit allowing visitors to "enter" the exhibit through plexiglass bubbles opened in 2005. In April 2006, the new African crater area opened to the public, restoring the elephants to public view after a several month hiatus following Jenny C's failed pregnancy. Phase one of this exhibit opened in 2007 with the opening of the new elephant exhibit. - Phase two and three include the Baboon and Lion exhibit. The Baboon exhibit is currently under construction with hopeful opening in 2008.	+ '''History'''
Line 16:	Line 15:
- The older portion of the zoo, near the entrance, consists of a large building housing a collection of birds, primates, reptiles and elephants. Aside from a small bird habitat, this area consists of old-fashioned indoor/outdoor cages and a small outdoor elephant exhibit. Between this area and the newer portion of the zoo, there are also some cages housing individual animals such as pheasants, hyenas, wolves and cougars.	+ Seneca Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, is located on the border of the City of Rochester and the Town of Irondequoit, along the Genesee River.

The building was home to a wide variety of animals in cages.
Line 18:	Line 17:
- The zoo has a visiting animal exhibit which is usually populated in the summer by animals on loan from other zoos. In recent years, Baboons and Giraffes have been housed there. Last Summer Rhinos were housed there, the public liked them so much that they were kept. The butterfly exhibit is another summer seasonal offering.	+ The Seneca Park Zoo Society was chartered as an educational institution by New York State in 1957. Since that time, the Society has evolved into a non-profit organization that supports and promotes the Zoo by running educational programs, special events, marketing and public relations efforts, fundraising and food and gift operations. The Society offers memberships that are very popular with area families.
Line 20:	Line 19:
- The zoo has a fast-food restaurant on premises, and is served by the Number 5 St. Paul ["RGRTA"] bus.	+ In 1975, a polar bear grotto was opened to house the Zoo's two polar bears (Penny and Nickels), who had been acquired using pennies and nickels collected by local school children. In 1993, the Zoo opened the $2 million Genesee Trail and Discovery Center—its first landscape immersion exhibit. This was followed in 1997 by the $8.2 million Rocky Coasts exhibit.
Line 22:	Line 21:
- Expansion of the zoo has been discussed for years. Proponents argue that the zoo is cramped and small, and point to the 1930s-era animal house as a facility sorely in need of expansion. Opponents raise issues of space, arguing that ["Seneca Park"] would be essentially overrun by the zoo if it were to be expanded. The most recent expansion plan is an effort to balance the needs of both constituencies:	+ On May 17, 2012, the Zoo opened A Step Into Africa, which was designed to replicate a portion of the NgoroNgoro Crater in Tanzania.

It is an area dedicated to animals of the polar and temperate coastal regions of the world, including African penguins, California sea lions, polar bears, snowy owls, Canada lynx and sandhill cranes. The exhibit includes an underwater viewing area which places visitors close to the sea lions and polar bears swimming behind large glass windows. + + A Step Into Africa was unveiled in 2012 and the exhibit includes a replica Maasai hut, Dig Zone for uncovering casts of fossils, interactive learning tools, and a stationary safari bus from which the Zoo's African lions can be viewed.

The spring of 2013 proved to be a very fruitful time at the Zoo as it welcomed two African lion cubs, six African penguin chicks, one golden lion tamarin baby, three domestic goat kids, a California sea lion pup and a Bornean orangutan baby. + + '''Education and Conservation''' + + Seneca Park Zoo reaches out to many communities in the Western New York region to educate the public with regards to animal and resource conservation, environmental awareness and recycling programs.
