Jackson Zoo is a 54-acre zoological and educational facility in Jackson, Mississippi, home to more than 200 animal species with a focus on African, Asian, and local Mississippi wildlife. The organization provides visitor experiences through exhibits such as a newly constructed tiger habitat and a designated education center, along with spaces available for private events like company rentals and family gatherings. Its operations sit within the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector, offering programs that support learning and outreach while maintaining a public-facing role as a cultural and recreational venue. The zoo serves the local community and visitors in the Jackson area, supported by a staff size reported in the lower to mid-range for regional zoos, and maintains an active calendar of events and partnerships, including collaborations with local entities for fundraising and experiential programs. A recent collaboration noted is a community fundraising event linked to Blue Bell Creameries in mid-2022, reflecting ongoing engagement beyond daily exhibits.
