Redesign concept. Built by Stoa to show what a modern, accessible Louisville Zoo website could be. It is not the Zoo's official site, which remains at louisvillezoo.org.

Find it fast

Hunt for anything at the Zoo

Animals, exhibits, events, and visit info in one place. Synonym-aware, so "big cat" finds lions, tigers, puma, and snow leopard.

Big-cat search

What are you hunting for?

Start with a plain-language clue: an animal, a habitat, a need, or a feeling. The search expands terms behind the scenes, so "big cat" becomes a fast path to the cats guests actually mean.

Note for reviewers

This is a real search endpoint (/api/search-louisvillezoo) over an index of the Zoo's animals, exhibits, events, and visit pages, with synonym expansion and keyword ranking. No external service or API key. On a live build the same index would be generated from the Zoo's content so it stays current.
