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.

Mill Mountain Zoo is celebrating Halloween a bit early with its annual Zoo Boo event. Visitors can dress up in their favorite costumes, trick-or-treat, play games, and make crafts.
Get ready for Mill Mountain Zoo’s most spook-tacular Halloween event of the year at ZooBoo on October 26, from 10 am to 4 pm. Sponsored by Valley Star Credit Union, this family-friendly extravaganza promises a day filled with wickedly good fun!
All other species do not have the ability to change their environment during relative extreme fluctuations in environmental temperature. This begs the question, to “sleep” or not to “sleep” – hibernation vs brumation?
