The Topeka Zoological Park is located south of I-70 at Gage & 6th Street. The best known feature of the Topeka Zoo is the tropical rain forest which was impressive when it was built over 30 years ago.

The small zoo is well laid out, and the animals are in large attractive enclosures. There were significant problems with the zoo's accreditation a few years back when 2 orangutans died and a lion had to be euthanized, but the Topeka Zoo regained accreditation in 2003 and as of early 2006 the the zoo was last visited, the animals appeared to be in very good condition.

The Topeka Zoo can be visited in about an hour.
