I forgot that tapirs were pachyderms, in that case here is a more accurate version of what I said above:
  • San Francisco Zoo has Hippopotamus, Eastern black rhinoceros, and Indian rhinoceros
  • Oakland Zoo has African bush elephant
  • San Diego Zoo has Hippopotamus, Pygmy hippopotamus, Indian rhinoceros, Malayan tapir, Baird's tapir, Asian elephant, and African bush elephant
  • Los Angeles Zoo has Indian rhino, Baird's tapir, Mountain tapir Hippopotamus, and Asian elephant
While I'm at it, I'll add a couple more zoos
  • Fresno Chaffee Zoo has African bush elephant and southern white rhinoceros
  • San Diego Zoo Safari Park southern white rhinoceros, eastern black rhinoceros, Indian rhinoceros, and African bush elephant
  • Tampa Zoo has African bush elephant, Indian rhinoceros, and southern white rhinoceros
  • Houston Zoo has southern white rhinoceros, Asian elephant, and Baird's tapir
  • Cheyenne Mountain Zoo has African bush elephant, Eastern black rhinoceros, Hippopotamus, and Mountain tapir

The Los Angeles zoo no longer has Indian Rhinos.
 
What are we including as pachyderms? I don't think I've ever seen a consistent definition, beyond "thick skinned", which along with elephants, hippos, rhinos, and tapirs, would include pigs.

I think hippos, elephants, tapirs, and rhinos. I’ve never considered pigs as pachyderms
