A Photo Gallery of Franklin Park Zoo

Looking for an activity that's fun for all ages? Why not take a trip to Franklin Park Zoo? Founded in 1913, Franklin Park Zoo is located just a short trip from downtown Boston in Dorchester's Franklin Park, an anchor of Frederick Law Olmsted's Emerald Necklace park system.

Operated by Zoo New England, a private, non-profit corporation that also runs the Stone Zoo in Stoneham, Mass., Franklin Park Zoo is home to hundreds of animals housed in various areas representing their native regions of the world.
