Oxbow Park and Zollman Zoo are a campground and zoo located in Olmsted County, Minnesota north of the city of Byron, and about 4.5 miles west of Rochester. It houses over 30 species of animals, most of which have injuries that would prevent them from surviving in the wild. All of the animals are native to Minnesota. The zoo is named after Dr. Paul E. Zollman. Favorite animals include a bald eagle, river otters and a mountain lion.

Oxbow Park is open most of the year, as is Zollman Zoo, with a majority of the animals being visible year round.
