Zoos and Botanical Gardens

Zoos and botanical gardens operate public attractions focused on animal care, plant collections, habitat maintenance, and visitor education. Jobs you’ll commonly see include animal care and husbandry, horticulture and landscaping, groundskeeping, conservation education, and guest services. Work is typically hands-on and outdoors, with schedules that may include weekends and holidays; some roles may require safety training or certifications (such as for animal handling) depending on the position.
