Toledo Zoo Amphitheatre

The Toledo Zoo Amphitheatre offers a unique blend of historic charm and open-air entertainment. Built in the 1930s as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project, this iconic venue is part of one of the largest collections of WPA-era buildings in the United States. Nestled within the grounds of the Toledo Zoo & Aquarium on the city’s South Side, the amphitheater provides an intimate setting where fans can enjoy performances under the stars, surrounded by the zoo’s storied landscape and classic architecture. While widely celebrated for its summer concert series, the venue has become a premier destination for major comedy tours. Its stage has hosted prominent names in stand-up, including Jim Gaffigan, Trevor Noah, and Nate Bargatze. With its distinct atmosphere and reputation for hosting high-profile acts, the Toledo Zoo Amphitheatre delivers a memorable night of laughter in one of Northwest Ohio’s most cherished landmarks.
