Accreditation

The Chattanooga Zoo is a fully accredited institution with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).

aza_logoLook for the AZA logo whenever you visit a zoo or aquarium as your assurance that you are supporting a facility dedicated to providing excellent care for animals, a great experience for you, and a better future for all living things. AZA zoos and aquariums represent the finest institutions in the country and are visited by more than 150 million people each year. That’s more people than attended all professional baseball, basketball, football and hockey sporting events combined.

Accreditation involves a detailed review and inspection process covering all aspects of an institution’s operation; including the animal collection, veterinary care, physical facilities, safety, security, finance, staff, governing authority, support organization, education, conservation, research, and adherence to AZA policies.
