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.
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. The Port Harcourt International Airport is approximately 14 miles (22.5 km) northwest of the park.
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.
