zoo map

Exhibit location chart

A zoo map is a guide showing the layout of a zoo—animal exhibits, pathways, facilities, and amenities.

Typically handed out at the entrance or posted at key locations, it helps visitors navigate and plan their route: According to the zoo map, the penguins are near the south entrance.

The term extends to any similar wayfinding document for large attractions.
