Celebrate a loved one’s life, commemorate a special occasion, or honor a friend’s passion for wildlife by making a tribute donation to the Louisville Zoo. Each gift directly supports our mission “to better the bond between people and our planet” and impacts daily care and enrichment of the animals that call your Zoo home.
If you wish for the Zoo to notify the honoree or the family of a loved one, please include contact information for the recipient or their family. Only donor names will be shared.
