History

Built in 1875, the Reptile House is the oldest existing zoo building in America. Once home to monkeys and apes, the building was converted into the Reptile House in 1951. The preservation of the building's original and unique architecture earned the Reptile House a place on the National Register of Historic Places, and it was significant to the Cincinnati Zoo's designation as a National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service in 1987.
