Make a Gift to the Zoo:

Share your passion for the natural world in your community and beyond by making a gift to the Oakland Zoo.

Adopt an Animal:

Animal enrichment items are a valuable asset to all zoos. Not only do they provide the exercise that all animals need, but they also help to eliminate boredom and keep animals mentally active. While visiting the Zoo you can see first hand how the animals interact with various enrichment items. Check out the Tiger's enrichment ball, and the Eland's Green Graze treat dispenser.

Animal Enrichment:

You can give "enrichment" items to the animals! Your gift will directly enrich the lives of the animals at Oakland Zoo by providing hours of engaging activity and play.

Volunteer Opportunities:

Do you have time and talent to spare? The Oakland Zoo is always looking for volunteers to help us in a variety of departments.

Sponsor the Zoo:

An alliance with the Oakland Zoo means that you will be associated with one of the top Zoos in the country. The mission of the Oakland Zoo is to inspire respect for and stewardship of the natural world. We encourage those who share our mission to consider an alliance with the Zoo or sponsor an event.
