The Little Rock Zoo is committed to creating meaningful connections between people and wildlife, and our Master Plan serves as the roadmap for bringing that vision to life. This long-term plan guides the Zoo’s growth and transformation, helping us create a world-class destination for conservation, education, and unforgettable family experiences.

Approved by the Zoo Board of Governors, the Master Plan was developed through a partnership between the Little Rock Zoo, Jackson Brown Palculict Architects, and GLMVZoos. Designed to guide the Zoo’s growth and development over the next 10–20 years, the plan outlines future renovations, facility improvements, and thematic concepts that support our mission to inspire people to value and conserve the natural world.

The Master Plan is a living document that will continue to evolve as the Zoo’s needs, opportunities, and priorities change. By regularly revisiting and refining the plan, we ensure each project supports the future of animal care, conservation, education, and our community.
