The Salisbury Zoo, located in Salisbury, Maryland, was founded in 1954 when some animals were placed on permanent exhibition in the City Park. The Zoo’s present form resulted from improvements made in the 1970s. The Zoo now provides naturalistic enclosures for species native to North, Central and South America. The Salisbury Zoo’s paved pathways and ramped boardwalks make the Zoo very accessible. Restrooms are equipped with changing tables and are ADA-compliant.
