Nestled in one of the city's most picturesque parks, this zoo is home to more than 2,250 animals. Although the zoo boasts contemporary exhibits where lions, giraffes and elephants roam freely, remnants of the Victorian era remain. Some mammals are housed in large barred cages that were built a century ago. The Maryland wilderness exhibit, where visitors explore a cave populated by timber rattlesnakes and walk under swimming river otters, is very popular, as is the children's barnyard.

The intriguing, odd-shaped glass building at the entrance to Baltimore's lovely Druid Hill Park is The Conservatory. The Victorian-era building has grown from its original 1888 Palm House to include four greenhouses and outdoor gardens. The Conservatory continually showcases plants from around the globe and offers special seasonal floral displays. The Conservatory offers a nice respite from a busy and probably noisy day at the nearby Baltimore Zoo, also located in Druid Hill Park.
