The Hemker Park & Zoo is a family owned zoo founded in 1977 in Freeport. The zoo was founded by Mark and Joan Hemker.
What began as a simple dream in 1977 has grown to give families up close access to more than 50 different species from around the globe. The mission of Hemker Park & Zoo is to highlight and enhance animals’ species and encourage environmental conservation through integrated partnerships and practical approaches to wildlife management. We work hard to share the wonder and importance of conservation, as well as the critical importance of the role of animals within our ecosystem. Guests can expect to learn from their visit about our world while enjoying the over 200 animals that call Hemker Park & Zoo home.
