Animal Sponsorship
Becoming a "Zoo Parent" allows you, your loved one, civic club, office, or classroom to support a favorite animal!
Connect with your favorite Washington Park Zoo animal through this unique and fun program! 100% of the profits go straight to this program, so when you become a “ZooParent,” you donate to the direct care of the animals in the zoo collection. Your donation will help fund habitat upkeep, special equipment acquisition, veterinary care, food, enrichment, and animal preservation programs.
​
General donations and memorial contributions at any level are also appreciated and can be mailed to the Washington Park Zoo, 115 Lakeshore Drive, Michigan City, Indiana 46360. Every dollar helps and 100% of these donations go directly towards the zoo's animal care programs and habitat improvements! For more information on any of the programs please contact the Director at: jhuss@emichigancity.com.
