MAKE AN IMPACT

Your choice to help, whether it be financial, with your time, or your influence, not only impacts the animals and staff at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, it also helps the environment, the community, and vulnerable species around the world.

By getting involved with The Zoo Society, you can forge meaningful connections and develop lasting relationships with the animals at the Zoo. You, your friends, and family can create memories and traditions as you engage both physically and virtually with them.

When you make a gift, you are not only making an impact but also strengthening your connection with the animals, to your community, and to our world.
