Visit the local zoo

Sante Fe College Teaching Zoo
Sante Fe Community College Campus

SFC Teaching Zoo is home to over 75 different species of animals and over 200 individuals. Some family favorites are the Bald Eagles, White-throated Capuchin monkeys, Sika Deer, Galapagos tortoises, Matschie's Tree Kangaroo, Asian small-clawed otters and African Grey parrots. These species and many other mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians are on display in a naturally wooded environment. The 3/4 mile trail through the wooded environment is lined with sawdust and is stroller and/or wheelchair accessible.

Tours Only: Tours are necessary for the safety of our animals and our guests due to the zoo's laboratory design. Tours are an additional teaching tool for training students on public speaking and public service.
