Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo, located in Bridgeport, Connecticut, is the only AZAaccredited zoo in the state of Connecticut. It includes one of the few carousels in the state.

Exhibits
Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo is divided into nine major exhibits:

Rainforest Building An indoor building featuring several animals from tropical South America,

Predators A small row of enclosures featuring Amur tigers, and Amur leopards which first arrived in 2013. The zoo plans to build a larger tiger enclosure with glasswindow viewing.

Alligator Alley A small trail featuring various animals from the Southeastern United States, including grey fox, North American river otter, bald eagle, sandhill crane, and American alligator. The exhibit also features a small walkthrough aviary home to various small birds and turtles.

Hoofstock Trail A long trail which loops around the zoo from Pampas Plains to Predators. The exhibit features animals native to the Great Plains such as plains bison, pronghorn, whitetailed deer, blacktailed prairie dog, turkey vulture, and barred owl.

New England Farmyard Designed as a small rural farm, the exhibit features a collection of farm animals, mainly of breeds which originated in New England, as well as some wild species that might be found in rural Connecticut.

W.O.L.F A small exhibit near the zoo's entrance which features Mexican wolves and a red wolf. The zoo was home to two timber wolves. They were replaced by the Mexican wolves. The exhibit is designed to look like a trapper's cabin and discusses the work the zoo does with these highly endangered species.

Native Reptile House A small wooden building near the entrance of the New England Farmyard, the exhibit features various species of reptiles and amphibians native to Connecticut.

Professor Beardsley's Research Station While not always open to the public, the exhibit is used mainly as an education center and is home to several of the zoo's education animals, such as European legless lizard, and bullsnake.

Pampas Plains This new exhibit opened in 2015 and is phase one of the zoo's "South American Adventure". It features a raised walkway to allow for better viewing and is home to maned wolves, giant anteaters, Chacoan peccaries, and greater rheas.

Natt Family Red Panda Habitat In October 2015, the zoo became home to a young male western red panda from the Franklin Park Zoo. He was temporary exhibited in the outdoor monkey enclosure outside the Rainforest Building. In October 2018 the zoo officially opened The Natt Family Red Panda Habitat to the public. The new habitat gives the zoo's two red pandas space to roam and play and gives visitors two new viewing areas.
