Welcome our newest resident Kalika. Help us in welcomeing our newest member of the zoo family
Meet Jasper. Jasper is a lemur born right here at the zoo.
The animals and zoo crew thank the community for a wonderful previous year and look forward to the 2010 season. The long winter is over and we are all ready for warmer weather. The residents still have their winter coats but are begining to shed them for the warmer weather. The many beautiful peacocks are displaying their new plumage.
Sierra Safari has become a fixture of the Reno Sparks community over the last twenty years. Though small it has become the largest zoo in Nevada, with over two-hundred animals of over forty different species. The zoo educates and entertains young and old alike. Some unusual animals reside at the zoo, Sloths, Lemurs, Zebras, Camels, Cavies, and Leopards. The zoo boasts six kinds of monkeys and eight kinds of wild cat including Lions and Tigers. “My dream was to bring the animals I loved together with the children of the area to promote empathy for animals everywhere. I had no idea what even the running of a small facility would entail.” says Dale McDaniel co-founder of the zoo. The zoo is run by over fifty animal loving volunteers. The sheriff’s community work program also helps in running day to day operations.

We are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 7 days a week from April 1st to October 31st
