Restaurants & Gift Shops

The Discover the Wild Gift Shop is located in the historic Menagerie building.

Restaurants and gift shops are open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Cash, MasterCard, Visa and Discover Card are accepted.

Our restaurants offer a wide variety of items for every taste and budget. Our gift shops carry a great selection of environmental and animal themed merchandise, as well as unique gifts you can only find at Roger Williams Park Zoo.

All of our concessions operate with “green” practices in mind and a portion of the profits come back to support Zoo education programs, preservation of animals and exhibit improvements!
