From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Emperor Valley Zoo is the main zoo in Trinidad and Tobago. It is located north of the Queen's Park Savannah and west of the Botanic Gardens in Port of Spain.

The zoo was first opened on November 8, 1952. It has collections of over 2000 individuals and over 200 species.

The zoo is preparing to undergo a major upgrade so that it can meet international standards. This will be undertaken by the Zoological Society of Trinidad and Tobago (ZSTT). The government plans to spend $56 Million TTD (Trinidad and Tobago Dollars) to upgrade the Emperor Valley Zoo.
