Greater Utica Magazine Cover April 2015 - The history of the Utica Public Zoo

In this issue, we take a deeper look at the history and impact of the Utica Zoo, a beloved regional destination located within Roscoe Conkling Park that has provided generations with the opportunity to experience wildlife through its indoor and outdoor exhibits, petting areas, and scenic nature trails. Our story explores how the zoo has grown and sustained itself over the years through county support, state programs, and community fundraising, all while remaining an important part of Utica’s identity. As you revisit this cover along with others from the past 11 years of Greater Utica, we invite you to show some love by voting for your favorite cover—and if this is a story you’d like to see reprinted, let us know in the comments. We appreciate the feedback and look forward to seeing which cover stands out as the favorite.
