Friends of the Zoo
Join the Friends of the Minnesota Zoo Foundation
Your support of the Minnesota Zoo Foundation provides a true impact in realizing the Zoo’s mission of connecting people, animals, and the natural world to save wildlife. Together, we can care for hundreds of species of animals, conduct local and worldwide conservation efforts, educate about the importance of nature, and protect critical ecosystems.
Your donation of $300 or more means you'll become a Friend of the Minnesota Zoo and you'll get exciting donor benefits like invitations to special events. In addition, you qualify for a Friends Membership to the Zoo which covers two adults living at the same address, along with your dependent children or grandchildren ages 21 or under. You may also bring two complimentary guests with each visit.
But above all else, you will be part of a community playing an important role in expanding the Zoo’s excellence for generations to come.
