Be a Force for Nature
More than a destination, the Minnesota Zoo is a journey into the natural world. From lush grounds to majestic wildlife, the Minnesota Zoo is transformative for both humans and animals alike. A local habitat for human respite, the Zoo is also a catalyst for wildlife conservation across the globe. Your generosity helps keep the Zoo as a natural wonder for generations to come.
Join a Giving Community
You are a Friend of the Zoo when you give a gift at any level that works for you. Donors giving $250+ annually receive the benefits of a Friends Plus membership, providing admission for your household and two free guests each visit.
By investing $1,000 or more annually to the Zoo, you become a member of the Director’s Circle. You’ll see the impact of your support more closely through special donor activities.
Established in 2020, the President’s Club is a group of dedicated supporters helping to sustain the Zoo into the future through annual donations of $10,000 or more.
Special Giving Opportunities
Welcome your favorite critter into your home by sponsoring an animal! With a custom certificate and plush toy, this is a great way to introduce children to helping care for wildlife.
If the Zoo is a special place for your friend or loved one, you can honor them with a gift in their name. On-site tribute opportunities are available at some donation levels.
