Even though we're at the tail end of a busy season, the Zoo is open year-round, 362 days a year! There is no time to sit on our hindquarters; there are guests to entertain, a community to educate, species to protect and the environment to conserve!

Maintaining a zoo, even in the winter months, takes a ton of resources. From grooming the natural habitats, providing veterinary care and training expert staff to feeding the nearly 350 animals that call Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo home, all of this behind-the-scenes work takes the backing of a caring and generous community.

Because we are a private non-profit facility, your 100 percent tax-deductible donation will further facilitate the exciting progress at the zoo in your own backyard!

Please get behind us and donate today! Click here to contribute online now or mail your check, payable to "CZS", to: Development Office, Connecticut Zoological Society, 1875 Noble Avenue, Bridgeport, CT 06610.

Happy Holidays from Your Friends at Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo.
