MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Here at the Zoo, we’re committed to doing our part to help visitors be stewards of the environment. Beverage items throughout the Zoo are available in recyclable aluminum bottles and aluminum cans, reducing single-use plastic. So far, we’ve eliminated over 280,000 plastic bottles from the landfill.

Aluminum is a highly durable material that is infinitely recyclable! In fact, nearly 75 percent of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today. Help keep the cycle going — look for recycling bins throughout the Zoo.

In our efforts to reduce single-use plastic, We no longer supply single use plastic straws or lids with our drinks at concessions.
