The Minnesota Zoo visits the State Capitol annually to thank legislators for their support, introduce them to animals that educate guests about the environment, and talk to them about its Master Plan. Award winning conservation, education, and recreation activities have earned local, national, and international recognition for the Minnesota Zoo. Accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), the Minnesota Zoo welcomes more than 1.1 million guests from around the world each year.
