All pathways at the Zoo are paved, however, due to the slope of the landscape, some paths are more accessible than others. Please visit our Accessibility page for more details.
The front entry of Utah’s Hogle Zoo is the highest elevation point on the grounds (4,895 feet above sea level). The lowest elevation point for guests is at Rocky Shores (4,835 feet above sea level). This means that visitors may experience an elevation change of up to 50 feet while at the zoo– the equivalent of a 4-story building. All rentals are first come, first served and can’t be reserved in advance.
