The Woodland Park Zoo's new iPhone app ( iTunes app store ) costs 99 cents to download, but the proceeds go to support the zoo and its animals, so who can say no? It acts as a guide for your visit to the zoo--you can see where you are and where you want to go via GPS, learn more about the exhibit you're standing in front of, and time your arrival to feedings and talks.


  • GPS-enabled zoo map with “Near Me” recommendations for animal exhibits, play areas, concession stands and restrooms
  • daily schedule of zoo activities including zookeeper talks and children’s programs
  • educational animal fact sheets
  • special promotional offers redeemable at concession stands
  • “Friend Finder” to locate other iPhone users in your party on zoo grounds
  • zoo news and happenings
  • easy access to Facebook and Twitter so you can share your zoo experience

Some of the features (not GPS) are available just by visiting http://www.zoo.org with your smartphone. The site should now serve up a mobile experience automatically.
