Nature’s Neighborhoods

Nature’s Neighborhoods at Franklin Park Zoo is an award-winning series of landscapes that combine nature-based play with habitats for animals. Four ecologies are included: woodlands, grasslands, thicket, and wetlands. Each is designed to be fun, to engage all senses and to open the doors for imaginative play while giving kids opportunities to observe and learn about the animals that share those habitats: red panda, muntjac, prairie dogs, waterfowl, and native turtles.
