Gift a Zoo Visit

This fund, open to businesses, organizations and individuals, provides free admission passes to underprivileged, at-risk and developmentally challenged youth, who might not otherwise have the opportunity to visit the Toledo Zoo. Zoo passes prominently display the donating company’s name on each ticket. Benefiting students are requested to send thank you letters to contacts at each donating company for their generosity.
