Port Harcourt Zoo (also known as PH Zoo) is a state owned zoological park in Port Harcourt city of Rivers State in Nigeria. The zoo was established in 1974 by military governor Alfred Diete-Spiff and was officially opened to the public on October 1, 1975.[1][2]
Located within Trans Amadi, in Obio-Akpor, Rivers State, Port Harcourt Zoo has been ranked among the major tourist attractions in the city and is considered one of Nigeria's leading conservation centres.[3] The Port Harcourt International Airport is approximately 14 miles (22.5 km) northwest of the park.[4]
By June 18, 2012, the Rivers State government had announced plans to introduce new animals to the zoo and completely revamp its state to match global standards.[5]
