Scovill Zoo is located at 71 S. Country Club Road in Decatur.

Nestled in the 62-acre Scovill Park overlooking Lake Decatur, the zoo features:

  • Four hundred animals spanning six continents
  • An endangered species carousel and Z.O. & O. Express Train

Free Admission Thursdays run through October or until the zoo closes for the winter.
