ZooTampa at Lowry Park is a nonprofit zoological park located in Tampa, Florida. It is operated by the Lowry Park Zoological Society in partnership with the City of Tampa and serves as a home to more than 1,300 animals within a tropical, naturalistic setting that aims to connect visitors with wildlife. The venue offers interactive experiences for families, such as feeding a giraffe and close encounters with various species, alongside rides, water play areas, and educational shows. The zoo operates the David A. Straz Jr. Manatee Critical Care Center, where staff treat sick, injured, or orphaned Florida manatees and rehabilitate them for return to the wild, while also caring for a broad array of Florida wildlife. The organization has earned awards for animal preservation and pursues partnerships to broaden conservation and education efforts.
