Sponsor an Animal
School & Youth Groups
Sponsoring an animal at the Milwaukee County Zoo is a great way to inspire your school or youth group to learn about wildlife and conservation. Plus, you will help support all the Zoo’s animals! Special benefits are available to school and youth groups that participate in the program. You can incorporate an animal sponsorship into your lesson plans, and even tie it into a Zoo field trip. Choose your favorite animal that’s available for sponsorship and come up with a creative way to raise money as a team!

- A certificate of sponsorship
