Every spring, the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden becomes the Cincinnati Botanical Garden & Zoo when it transforms into a magnificent explosion of color! As one of only two accredited botanical gardens in Ohio, the Cincinnati Zoo offers one of the largest tulip displays in the Midwest. Dubbed “Tulip Mania,” Zoo Blooms also feature more than one million daffodils, hyacinths, flowering trees, shrubs and other spring bulbs exploding with color.

Look for bright yellow and white daffodils blooming throughout the park. Many varieties of red and yellow tulips are the first to bloom followed by the main bloom. More than 100,000 tulips provide every color you can imagine. Complementing the blooming bulbs are thousands of blooming trees and shrubs. Included with zoo admission, this event is just a sampling of the variety and beauty at the Zoo. Plan a visit and enjoy the abundant beauty of Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden!
