Sequioa Park Zoo was established in 1907 by the city of Eureka
to inspire wonder, understanding and respect for the natural world by providing fun, rewarding, educational experiences that encourage meaningful connections between animals, humans, and our environment.
The zoo offers educational programs for school-age children and a barnyard, where children can interact with goats,
sheep, chickens, rabbits, llamas, alpacas, and a dog. There is an educational building located in the front of the zoo called
Secrets of the Forest, which educates children about the animals and organisms in the redwood forest.
Residents of the main zoo include: a Black Bear, Patagonian Cavies, Cotton Top Tamarins, Spider Monkeys, White Handed Gibbons,
and Flamingos. The zoo has a free flight aviary with a pond and waterfall. Birds in the aviary includes Sacred ibis, Red-crested turaco,
European roller, Green heron, Crested screamer, Guira cuckoo, Blue-gray tanager, Cedar waxwing, California quail, and Red golden pheasant.
The Sequoia Park Zoo Foundation is a non-profit organization that supports the zoo's mission through fundraising and public
outreach programs. The Foundation operates a gift shop and cafe. After 100 years free entry, the zoo started charging admission
in the summer 2008.
