Gotham City Zoo

Gotham City Zoo is one of the oldest in the country, first opening on its current site in 1939. In the 1980s, The Gotham Wildlife Conservation Society assumed management of the park under a contract with the City of Gotham and completed a dramatic five-year transformation. Since reopening in 1988, our mission has been to engage future generations of conservationists and create wildlife champions.

The zoo is open every day of the year and features three major biomes: the Tropic Zone, Temperate Territory, and our famous Polar Circle. From tropical birds, to snow leopards, grizzly bears, and one of the nation’s largest colonies of Antarctic penguins, there are animals to enjoy in every season. We also feature the Robin Children’s Zoo, a playful adventure for our youngest guests who’ll encounter goats, sheep, some of the world’s most unique ducks, and the only cow who calls Gotham home. Our goal is to inspire our visitors and connect them to the plight of animals in the wild and the conservation work we’re doing to protect them.

The Batman Memorial

The Batman Memorial and Museum remembers and honours Gotham's most loved saviour, killed protecting the city from constant barrage of attacks. Risking his life to save others, and who demonstrated extraordinary feats that in the aftermath of his death inspired the City to fight against its crime ridden past to what it has become today.

Commemoration, exhibitions and educational programs. The memorial consists of The Cape Crusader's beginnings to his unfortunate end. With whom he fought and the controversy behind his vigilante actions. The museum serves as the principal institution concerned with exploring the implications of what lead for one man to stand alone against organised crime and what impact it had on the City.
