Sacramento Zoo at Elk Grove

Set on a sweeping 60-acre site in Elk Grove, this visionary new campus reimagines the future of the Sacramento Zoo. The design features a welcoming entry pavilion, guest services hub, and retail space, complemented by a full-service restaurant with panoramic views of the savanna habitat. Behind the scenes, a state-of-the-art veterinary hospital and commissary support exceptional standards of animal care. With immersive environments and innovative habitats throughout, the project is a bold expression of the zoo’s mission: to inspire, engage, and prioritize the well-being of both animals and visitors. This exciting collaboration led by sh|r Studios is slated to open to the public in 2030.
