We're more than halfway to our $25,000 matching goal! Right now, every donation will be matched dollar for dollar (up to $25,000) to provide lifesaving medical care for the animals in our care.

Your gift can help purchase new hospital equipment, giving our veterinary team the critical tools they need to care for your favorite Audubon animals during emergencies, surgeries, and recoveries - like when Valerio the jaguar needed a root canal.

But time is running out. We must meet the match by July 31. Double your impact today and help provide the lifesaving care our animals deserve.

Protect. Inspire. Conserve.

Being a zookeeper is so much more than caring for animals - it’s a profession rooted in compassion, expertise, conservation, education, and lifelong learning.

Our keepers are animal care professionals and conservation ambassadors who dedicate their days to understanding the animals in their care, sharing their stories, and helping protect wildlife. From preparing specialized diets and creating enriching habitats to providing medical care, supporting conservation programs, and contributing to research, their work goes far beyond what guests see.

Our animal care staff help create meaningful connections between people and wildlife, fostering curiosity and encouraging us all to protect the natural world.

Thank you to our incredible zookeepers for your patience, passion, and dedication! Your work makes a difference not only here at the Zoo, but across Audubon Nature Institute facilities and for wildlife around the globe.

We were looking forward to seeing everyone at Family Splash Nights this evening. While the temperatures are comfortable, strong winds and a high chance of rain are expected throughout the evening.

As a result, Family Splash Nights at Cool Zoo Waterpark scheduled for tonight, July 22, has been canceled.

If you purchased a ticket or reserved a cabana for tonight's event, you will automatically receive a refund.

We have one Family Splash Nights event remaining this season, and we'd love to see you there! If you'd like to join us next week, you can book your tickets online: https://audubonnatureinstitute.org/splash

Thank you for your understanding. Stay safe, and we hope to see you next week for one last fun and memorable Family Splash Nights event this summer!

Did you know your old electronics can help protect gorillas? Rare earth minerals used to make cell phones and small electronics are often mined in areas that overlap with critical gorilla habitats. This mining contributes to habitat loss, putting already endangered gorilla populations at even greater risk.

You can make a difference by donating your old cell phones and small electronics through our Gorillas on the Line campaign! 🦍📱♻️

📅 Join us for Cell Phone Saturdays this Saturday, July 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.! Drop off your old devices at the Gorillas on the Line recycling box near the Zoo's gorilla habitat and receive a special keepsake from our gorillas as a thank you.

🦍 Plus, enjoy family-friendly activities, meet our gorilla care team, and learn more about our troop. Don't miss keeper chats at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., where you'll receive exclusive gorilla trading cards - collect them all while supplies last!
