Your Central Coast Zoo
The Charles Paddock Zoo is home to hundreds of animal species from around the world. Many of the zoo residents are part of globally managed programs to preserve animals and their habitats. The Charles Paddock Zoo is truly dedicated to the conservation of local and exotic species. If you want to engage with some of the rarest animals in the world in a safe and respectful environment then you will surely want to visit our Zoo. We have so much to offer, including: camps, classes, birthday parties and more!
Most hornbills are ungainly looking with large, often colorful, beaks and long eyelashes. You may spot our Von der Decken's Hornbills in our large walk-through aviary.
No matter the size, your gift makes a difference! With your help the Charles Paddock Zoo will continue to flourish and provide the valuable cultural asset the Zoo is to our community.
Our precious animals need your support. This is your opportunity to friend one of our animals. Your donation is good for one year.
Volunteers are the heart of our Zoo and have always played dominant roles throughout its history. Volunteers for our education programs, events, or office support.
