SEATTLE—Looking for the perfect present for the loved ones on your holiday shopping list? Look no further, Woodland Park Zoo has you covered! From animal lovers to conservation champions and everyone in between, here are 10 gift ideas perfect for everyone in your life.
1. A gift that lasts all year long
Give the gift that keeps on giving with unlimited admission and fantastic benefits! Buy a membership for family or friends (or yourself!) and save $15 with promo code GIFT2021 (now through December 31).
2. A cuddly gift that helps save species
Give the gift of a ZooParent adoption to help fund the care of all the amazing animals at Woodland Park Zoo and make a difference for wildlife! The zoo’s $69 seasonal snow leopard special includes a plush toy, an adoption certificate, color photo, fun fact sheet and more!?
3. The perfect present for every budget
Did you know that more than 2 billion plastic cards end up in landfills each year? Opt for sustainable gifts and help prevent plastic waste: buy a Woodland Park Zoo e-gift card to treat your loved ones!
4. Adopt a hornbill nest in their name
Asian hornbills need our help. These magnificent birds (with equally magnificent beaks) are endangered. Woodland Park Zoo works with the Thailand Hornbill Project to help prevent trafficking of hornbill chicks and support local communities that protect their nests. You can adopt one of those nests as a special gift for the animal lover in your life! Learn more at zoo.org/nestadoptions.
5. An unforgettable up-close experience!
Our Wild Meet and Greet experience lets you mingle with your favorite ambassador animals! You and a small group (up to 15 people) will have an up-close encounter with one of the zoo’s wildlife superstars—and it includes zoo admission for your group immediately following your experience. Choose which of the zoo’s birds, mammals or reptiles to invite to your get-together at zoo.org/meetandgreet.
6. An illuminated evening
Ring in the holidays with dazzling lanterns, brilliant lights and plenty of illuminated (and enormous) animals. Treat your sugarplums to an evening experience that sparks joy and wonder! WildLanterns, presented by BECU runs through January 30, 2022. Reserve your tickets at zoo.org/wildlanterns.
7. A donation in their name
Give a meaningful gift that saves wildlife! Make a donation to Woodland Park Zoo in the name of a family member or friend that supports animal care, wildlife conservation, education, accessibility or whatever matters most to them! Visit www.zoo.org/donate to get started.
