Druid Hill Park

Druid Hill Park is home to the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, founded in 1876 as the third oldest zoo in America, with more than 1,500 wild animals and over 200 unique species, including Arctic polar bears, giraffes in the African Journey, and the Jones Falls Zephyr train. The park also contains the Howard Peters Rawlings Conservatory & Botanic Gardens, a Victorian glass conservatory with tropical rain forest, desert, temperate, and palm collections, seasonal flower shows, and one of the country's oldest such structures. Founded in 1984, the Parks & People Foundation supports recreational and educational opportunities, sustains parks, and promotes a healthy natural environment for Baltimore through greening and youth programs. The Friends of Druid Hill Park works to protect its woods and arbors, preserve its historic monuments and buildings, and strengthen the park as a central recreational, cultural, and educational institution.
