Baton Rouge Zoo To Begin First Phase Of Renovations

Major changes are coming to the Baton Rouge Zoo.

Officials say construction on Phase 1, which will tackle most of the zoo's infrastructure, could begin in just a few months and is expected to cost around $30 million.

Assistant Director of the Baton Rouge Zoo Jim Fleshman says that in addition to the exciting new animal exhibits, the new renovations will include a new stormwater system, as well as a brand new sewer system.

Phase 1 will also include relocating the entrance, placing it next to Greenwood Park.

BREC says they hope these renovations will bring new life and visitors into the zoo.
