Roosevelt Park Zoo

Roosevelt Park Zoo offers a distinctive wildlife experience centered on animals from northern regions and temperate climates. Set within one of Minot's oldest public parks, the zoo combines mature trees, landscaped grounds, and thoughtfully designed habitats that create a relaxed atmosphere for exploring wildlife. Rather than presenting a broad collection from every ecosystem, the zoo emphasizes species that thrive in cooler environments while supporting conservation, education, and animal care through its exhibits and programs.

Visitors can encounter Amur tigers, snow leopards, grizzly bears, river otters, red pandas, musk oxen, reindeer, birds, and a variety of other mammals adapted to northern habitats. Naturalistic exhibits encourage close observation while helping explain the adaptations that allow these animals to survive in challenging climates. The compact layout makes the zoo easy to explore in a few hours, making Roosevelt Park Zoo especially well suited to travelers interested in northern wildlife and those looking for a relaxed half-day attraction with a clear conservation focus.
