Zoo Ave Wildlife Conservation Park is one of three wildlife projects owned and operated by the Nature Restoration Foundation (NRF). It is an officially recognized Costa Rican wildlife rescue center and premier zoological facility. The park hosts over 60,000 visitors every year, the vast majority of which (95%) are Costa Rican Nationals. Over the past decade (since 1990), Zoo Ave has worked to preserve native flora and fauna through wildlife rehabilitation, captive breeding, release of native species and operation of the zoological garden. The Zoo itself is designed to educate the public about conservation and to display native Costa Rican species in a healthy and respectful manner.

As our name implies, Zoo Ave is a place for the birds. We have over 80 species of native avifauna on exhibit including 13 species of psittacines (parrots), 16 species of raptors (hawks, eagles and owls), 40 species of songbirds, 5 toucan species and 4 species of cracids (guans, currosaws and chachalacas).

In addition to birds, visitors will witness a number of indigenous primates (Squirrel monkeys,spider monkeys, howler monkeys, white-faced capuchins, and tufted-ear marmosets.
