When life gives you lemons… make conservation happen! 🍋🐾

These amazing kids decided to run a lemonade stand to raise funds for homeless animals and endangered species. They donated half their earnings to the animal shelter and half to our zoo’s Conservation Fund, directly supporting endangered species like snow leopards and African penguins, along with local wildlife like bats.

We are so grateful for their kindness and dedication! Want to join them in protecting wildlife? Learn more about our Conservation Fund during your next zoo visit or online at . 🌍

Our male red panda, Twix, who was born here last summer, has moved to his new home at Zoo Boise. While we’ll miss seeing his playful personality every day, we’re so excited for the next chapter of his journey.

Be sure to visit him if you’re in Boise—and give him some extra love from all of us here in Idaho Falls!
