Our Mission

 To enhance the greater Peoria area and its appeal by providing environments for people to discover, explore, preserve, and enjoy the wonders of our natural world.

Our Vision

 To be ranked as one of the finest zoos in the Midwest and to establish Peoria as the "place to be" for recreation and fun.  Peoria will offer a quality of life -- a world-class zoo experience plus the best sports, boating, symphony, opera, ballet, concerts, theatre, and more.
