Friends of the Wild

To provide interactive and educational animal experiences

After the closure of the Las Vegas Zoo in 2013, and Roos N More Zoo in 2016 a small group of caring individuals in the downtown community decided it was time to try something new: A successful, non-profit, animal center dedicated to providing quality habitats and enrichment to a small group of interactive and educational animals.

What began as a dream began to make sense as plans were laid and donations began rolling in, in February 2017.

With our doors set to open in early April, we are currently in the planning and creating stage, sourcing reputable breeders and great animals that will meet the needs of our facility and of our environment. Animals first is one of our core values.

Friends of the Wild is proud to offer small group tours 4 days a week, on and off site, affordable 'Field Trips' for schools and groups. As well as a variety of fun events
