Welcome to the Good Zoo ~
With over 50 species, 20 that are rare or endangered, Oglebay Good Zoo was dedicated in memory of seven-year-old Philip Mayer Good in 1977. This zoo continues to thrive through the support of local residents.
Explore the Outback Exhibit and Lorikeet Landing. Observe animals including cheetahs, lemurs, red pandas, and river otters. Visit our Wonders of the Wetlands exhibit to see a bald eagle and various other plants and animals that call these fragile areas home.
The historic C.P. Huntington Train Ride takes visitors on a one and a half mile journey through the zoo. The red barn is filled with friendly domestic animals such as llamas, goats, and donkeys.
