Topeka Zoo is a 32-hectare zoo in Kansas formerly known as Topeka Zoological Park. It is located within the area of Gage Park. The parcel of land where the zoo is currently located was donated by the Gage Family to the city government of Topeka. It was once a public park with children?s playground, garden, mini-train ride, carousel, and fishing lake. It opened in 1933 to the public as zoological park.

The Topeka Zoo is one of the first zoos in the United States which features an indoor Tropical Rainforest habitat for its wildlife custody. There are different species of birds such as hyacinth Macaw, scarlet Macaw, Bali Mynah, Chilean Flamingo, and Roseate Spoonbill.
