The Red River Zoo is a zoo in Fargo, North Dakota. The zoo's first eight acres opened in the spring of 1999, and the zoo gained AZA-accreditation on September 25, 2006. The RRZ sits on 33 acres of land that was once a farm (the George Anderson family "Red River Ranch"). Several of the farm buildings were modified and are used today by the zoo. It is home to over 300 animals from 75 different species, including some of the few red pandas in captivity in the world. It also includes a 1928 carousel that was fully restored in 1995. Its most recent addition was Takin Ridge.

The Red River Zoo is funded by earned revenue and contributions to the Red River Zoological Society and by its members. The Society was formed in 1993.
