Not The Zoo You Knew

We strive to affect positive change in peoples’ lives, one animal at a time.

Welcome to Zootah – Logan, Utah’s community zoo since 1970! Formerly the Willow Park Zoo, our seven-acre zoo is located just next to the Cache County Fairgrounds. There our tree-lined pathways provide the perfect accessible outing for guests of all ages. 

Zootah became a PRIVATE non-profit organization in 2013. Since then, our team has been able to devote even more time and energy to growing and diversifying our animal collection, as well as expanding our education and outreach programs.

We’re grateful to all of our guests, members and sponsors for supporting our mission over the years. Thank you for helping to make Zootah a jewel of the Cache Valley!

History

Zootah is a multi-generational zoo established nearly 50 years ago Logan City. Doug Eames had a passion for pheasants and waterfowl, and convinced city leaders to start the bird avieary in 1970 called Willow Park Zoo. The zoo was funded and operated by the city until 2013, when the zoo decided to become a PRIVATE non-profit organization. In 2012, Troy Cooper became the new director of the zoo after the previous zoo director, Rod Wilhelm, retired (learn more about the staff here). In 2017, the zoo rebranded and changed their name from Willow Park Zoo, to Zootah at Willow Park. Currently, Zootah is investing in new exhibits, animals, and events to stay open year-round.
