Open since 1905, Delaware's only zoo is located a few steps from the Brandywine
River. The 12-acre zoo features Siberian tigers, river otters, and other animals
native to the Americas and the temperate areas of Asia. A new state-of-the-art
Andean Condor exhibit features a 110,000-cubic-foot flight cage.
 Not far from the
bustle of the city is a serene, yet wild place. Set in beautiful Brandywine
Park, Brandywine Zoo offers a convenient escape that feels worlds away.
The Brandywine Zoo is managed by Delaware State Parks with the support of the
Delaware Zoological Society. This quaint facility is home to a variety of
species of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. At Brandywine Zoo, visitors
return again and again to see our animals in natural settings. Come see our
exotic Siberian tigers, playful river otters, snowy owl, Andean condors, Florida
bobcats, binturongs, sandhill cranes, burrowing owls, pygmy goats, llama, rhea
and the world's largest rodent, the capybara.
