Washington Park and Zoo Railway Zoo Experience About us A community treasure since 1888, the Oregon Zoo provides exceptional experiences to more than a million visitors a year to inspire them to create a better future for wildlife. The zoo participates in on-the-ground efforts to save endangered and threatened species, including California condors, Oregon spotted frogs and western pond turtles. Committed to conservation, the zoo sources products from local, sustainable vendors whenever possible. All private events hosted at the zoo support the zoo s education, conservation and animal welfare initiatives. The zoo loop is a six-minute ride offering visitors views into Condors of the Columbia, the Family Farm and Elephant Lands. 2018 schedule Operations are weather-dependent Jan. 1 Feb. 16 Feb. 17 March 18 March 24 Oct. 31 Nov. 1 Nov. 12 Nov. 23 end of ZooLights Carousel Closed Weekends Daily 2018 schedule Operations are weather-dependent Jan. 1 Feb. 16 Feb. 17 March 18 March 24 Oct. 31 Nov. 1 Nov. 12 Nov. 23 end of ZooLights Weekends & Veterans Day Evenings Closed Weekends Daily Weekends & Veterans Day Evenings Hours Sept. 5, 2017 May 25, 2018 9:30 am 4 pm May 26, 2018 Sept. 3, 2018 9:30 am 6 pm Grounds remain open one hour after closing.
