Celebrate World Lion Day at the Little Rock Zoo!

Lions are often referred to as the "king of the jungle," and for good reason! As one of the most iconic and powerful big cats, lions play a vital role in maintaining balance in their ecosystems. Unfortunately, these majestic animals are facing significant threats in the wild, including habitat loss and poaching.

Join us on August 10th for World Lion Day to learn more about the importance of lion conservation and the challenges they face in the wild.

Did you know that lions live in prides, with a social structure that helps them hunt and protect their territory? Or that the roar of a lion can be heard from up to 5 miles away? Come discover these fascinating facts and more during special keeper talks, interactive activities, and up-close encounters with our resident lions.

All activities are included with regular admission—don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate lions and support efforts to protect these incredible creatures!
