Tomorrow is the day!

We are so excited to welcome back our residents and visitors to Merced Applegate Zoo. Come see our all new Black Bear Exhibit, renovated Bobcat Exhibit, walkways and guest experiences!

We thank you for your patience and support during this effort. We couldn't have made the improvements necessary without the support of Merced City Council, UC Merced, Merced Breakfast Lions, Merced County Office of Education, and the Friends and Family of Violette Walker including Merced Firefighter Association Local 1479.

Please join us tomorrow as we showcase our new additions, new rescues (unveiled tomorrow) and future projects!

See you tomorrow at Merced Applegate Zoo, Where Every Animal Has A Story!
