Luray Zoo is a Rescue Zoo, dedicated to providing animals with a loving and caring home. The zoo is privately owned and operated by Mark Kilby. Luray Zoo receives no government funding. Admission, gift shop sales, donations help support and care for all the animals that call Luray Zoo home. The Zoo receives animals that are retired zoo animal ambassadors, retired zoo animals from conservation programs, unwanted pets, confiscations, and, sadly, occasionally abused animals. 

 

We are a small zoo. We have plenty of shade and places to sit while on your visit to the zoo. Little ones and adults love how close you get to be to the animals here at the zoo.  The Zoo Owner and the zoo staff is always out and about and love to talk to you and answer questions. We are passionate about animals and love sharing our knowledge with those who visit. Don't forget to check out all the events, keeper talks & demonstrations going on at the zoo thru out the year!

The zoo also has a petting zoo area where you can pet and feed the animals! Feed is for sale at the zoo for the petting zoo animals.
