Story

Potawatomi Zoo, located in South Bend, is home to over 400 species on 23 acres. The Zoo is a regional destination serving and educating all who visit. Our history is rich and we are pleased to be a special part of this community.

Mission

The Potawatomi Zoo is part of a very special breeding program that is key in conservation of several species - most notably the Amur leopard. With less than 35 left in the world we are proud to have a breeding pair that has contributed to the survival of the breed.
