Welcome to the AZFA website! 

The AZFA is a non profit organization made up of facility professionals from aquariums, zoos and similar animal conservation facilities from across the country and abroad.  Our members range from architects, engineers and management personnel, to tradesmen, animal keepers, grounds and housekeeping staff as well as other professionals that are responsible for the design, construction and maintenance of animal habitats, facilities and related equipment.   

Save the Date!
the 2014 AZFA Conference will be held in Evansville, Indiana from October 12th - 15th, and will be hosted by the Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden.  Our 20th annual conference will take us back to where it all began back in 1994.  Hope to see you there!
