Accreditation of Riverview Park and Zoo
Riverview park and zoo has been accredited by CAZA since 1985. The Park and Zoo voluntarily applies for CAZA audits. During the process, we are subject for review based on the education, conservation and animal welfare in our facility. Being accredited is one of our most important achievements. This confirms our facility is held to higher standards and our animals are treated with the best care possible.
