The Santa Fe Community College Teaching Zoo in Gainesville, Florida is the only zookeeper training facility in the nation with its own Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) accredited zoo on grounds. Students spend 18 months learning about animals and husbandry issues through classwork and actual work as keepers in the zoo, which houses a wide variety of animals. Although the collection may fluctuate, the zoo is usually home to around 80 species of animals; and students work with reptiles, small mammals, hoofstock, birds, carnivores, and more.

Zoo admission and guided tours are free, making the SFCC Teaching Zoo a popular destination for members of the community.
