The Minnesota Zoo is not just for kids! The Minnesota Zoo is a place for people of ALL ages to connect with animals and the natural world and to help save wildlife. The Minnesota Zoo Associates Board (MNZAB) exists to engage adults with the Minnesota Zoo through various adult programs held both at the Zoo and around the Twin Cities.

We are a 20 member Board, representing a gamut of professional affiliations and life stages, ranging in age from 20s to 40s, and all with a passion for the Minnesota Zoo and the Zoo’s mission to connect people with nature. MNZAB, together with both the Minnesota Zoo Foundation and the Minnesota Zoo Boards, helps the Zoo to cover various demographics and points of view – all with the intent to make sure the Minnesota Zoo is accessible to all.

We are always looking for committed individuals to join MNZAB. Interested individuals can join us in helping to create engagement programs for adults who love animals and nature and to connect them with the Zoo and the Zoo’s important work. Join us for a variety of exclusive adult programs and experience the Zoo in a whole new way through exclusive animal and exhibit opportunities, access to world-leading zoo experts, and exciting social events. Join us to save wildlife – locally and globally.
