Der Zoo wurde unter die 50 besten Ausflugsziele Deutschlands gewählt und nimmt im europäischen Zoo-Ranking Platz 4 unter den mittelgroßen Zoos ein (Platz 2 in Deutschland). Mit Orang-Utan-Mädchen Surya wurde 2013 der erste Nachwuchs bei den Menschenaffen im Darwineum geboren. 2013 musste Elefantenkuh Sara, der damals älteste Afrikanische Elefant in einem europäischen Zoo, krankheitsbedingt im Alter von 51 Jahren eingeschläfert werden. Mit ihr wurde die traditionsreiche Elefantenhaltung im Rostocker Zoo vorerst beendet. Nachfolger auf der Anlage sollen ab Sommer 2014 Zwergflusspferde werden.
