At 580 acres, the zoo and aquarium has been recognized for both its conservation efforts and exhibits. Some 700 species from around the world are represented, and the park contributes more than $1 million dollars yearly to over 70 projects around the world. The exhibits are divided into regions – with the facility currently operating eight such areas. In addition, the zoo and aquarium owns an 18-hole golf complex, known as the Safari Golf Club. It also owns Jungle Jack’s Landing and Zoombezi Bay. In total, the facility owns and works 580 acres of land – with just under half solely dedicated to the zoo itself. The park and aquarium also has a close working relationship with The Wilds, a 10,000-acre conservation center for animals located in the southeast Ohio.
