Elmwood Park Zoo is opening the doors of our Welcome Center exclusively to members — and offering a unique opportunity to witness real veterinary care in action.
Members will have live viewing access to exams and procedures happening inside the Frank & Paige Engro Veterinary Health Center, with the chance to ask questions directly to our veterinary team as they work. This experience is designed to deepen your connection to the animals you love — and showcase the incredible care that happens behind the scenes every day.
Only the Welcome Center will be open on exam days that fall on Mondays and Tuesdays from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM, with access to watch the exams, Buck Cafe for food and beverages, as well as the Gift Shop.
