Show Your Love of the Zoo

This Zoo Lovers Giving Day, we’re celebrating all of the incredible reasons to love the Minnesota Zoo, including:

  • The over 4,500 unique animals who call it home

  • Opportunities to connect with nature atop the Treetop Trail or at the Wells Fargo Family Farm

  • Amazing educational programs, from Zoo Camps to the Nature Preschool

  • Experiences with loved ones that become treasured, life-long memories

  • … and so much more.

And now, there’s a NEW reason to love the Zoo:

Introducing Red Panda Forest, a BRAND-NEW habitat coming to the Zoo's Northern Trail this summer, 2025! Featuring red pandas, tufted deer, and red-crowned crane, this multispecies habitat was entirely funded by Zoo-loving Foundation donors.

Your support helps bring exciting new species and habitats, like Red Panda Forest, to life. Now, give back to the Zoo you love when you make a gift for Zoo Lovers Giving Day, and help the Zoo thrive for generations to come.
