Ways to Give

Shop for an Animal

The Ross Park Zoo’s Amazon wish list is our shopping list of items needed to keep our animals happy and healthy. Choose from our general lists, or pick out a special enrichment item for the animals! We’ve set up our list through Amazon to make your shopping easier.

Donate Your Vehicle

Got a car you’re no longer using? You can turn it into care for the animals at the Ross Park Zoo!

When you donate your car, truck, RV, motorcycle, or other vehicle, the proceeds go directly toward supporting our animals, conservation programs, and education efforts. It’s a simple way to make a big impact – and your donation may even be tax deductible.

Pay it Forward

We are affording the opportunity for more families to visit the zoo with our new “Pay it Forward” admission wall located in the Zoovenirs Gift Shop.

Here’s how you can help: Your donation of $9 provides zoo admission to a neighbor who otherwise would not be able to afford a day filled with inspiration and happy memories.

You can make your donation during your visit to the Zoovenirs Gift shop, by filling out the form linked below, or by mailing your contribution to:

Ross Park Zoo
