ZooTampa at Lowry Park says it was one of Florida's most-attended cultural attractions by again breaking its own record, welcoming 1,171,319 guests in fiscal year 2023, which ended on Sept. 30. It was the third consecutive year of record attendance, the zoo says.
The zoo says it also expanded its leadership in wildlife preservation by sending staff to various countries to participate in field conservation and education projects.
"We are proud of our role as the destination for families to come together, be entertained, and connect with each other and wildlife," says ZooTampa's CEO Joe Couceiro. "We also celebrate our continued commitment to the conservation and preservation of wildlife not only in our backyards, but also around the world."
