Fort Chiswell Animal Park is the largest zoo in Southwest Virginia! Located on 45 acres, less than three miles off Exit 80 on I-81/I-77, the zoo is home to animals from six continents and offers an interactive animal experience.

The hands-on fun begins in the Petting Zoo and moves to a whole new level when you board the Safari Bus for a ride through the Outback. The buses operate on an hourly basis and bring you nose-to-nose with animals from around the world. It's the zoo where the animals WANT to see you--so don't forget your camera!
