Help BUILD OUR ANIMAL WELLNESS CAMPUS!

The Zoo needs a larger animal hospital and diet kitchen, and you can help! The new veterinary hospital and animal wellness campus will not only deliver the highest level of animal care, but will also provide an educational experience. The campaign needs to raise $4 million to finance the project, but roughly $3 million has already been raised.

At the Zoo or in your classroom, the Virginia Zoo SCHOOL DISCOVERY PROGRAM delivers informal, yet exciting, science education designed to reinforce the Virginia Standards of Learning.
