January 30, 2023 By Warlock


Fiona the hippopotamus is one of the most popular and beloved residents of the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. Born prematurely in 2017, Fiona quickly captured the hearts of zoo visitors and animal lovers around the world with her tenacity and spirit. Today, she’s a thriving and happy hippo, and a must-see attraction at the zoo.


So, where exactly can you find Fiona at the Cincinnati Zoo? Here’s a guide to help you track down this famous resident:

Fiona currently resides in the zoo’s Hippo Cove, located in the African Savanna area of the zoo. The habitat features a large pool, where Fiona can be seen swimming and playing, as well as a variety of other animals, including zebras, ostriches, and warthogs.

  1. The Best Time to Visit

Fiona is most active in the morning and early afternoon, so the best time to visit her is between 10 am and 3 pm. During these hours, you’re likely to see her swimming, playing, and interacting with her mother, Bibi.

  1. Don’t Miss the Fiona Show

Finally, be sure to check out the Fiona Show, a special presentation that takes place several times a day in the zoo’s Hippo Cove. During this show, a zookeeper will provide an informative and interactive presentation about Fiona and the other hippos, complete with opportunities to ask questions and see these amazing animals up close.

Whether you’re a long-time Fiona fan or just discovering her for the first time, a visit to the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden is sure to be an unforgettable experience. So head on down to the zoo today and see Fiona and her friends in person!
