We say YES for the Oregon Zoo!

  • Baby orangutan, Oregon Zoo

    "...and we love seeing the kids make connections in real-time to the things they are reading about in books and learning about at school.”

    Washington County Residents

  • Baby Mountain Lion, Oregon Zoo

    "The economic impact of a thriving zoo extends well beyond its gates, creating jobs, revenue for businesses, and a positive ripple effect throughout the community. It contributes to the cultural vibrancy of our city, serving as a hub, bringing people together, and fostering a sense of community pride."

    Yang Yang

    Tourism Advocate, Multnomah County Resident

  • Harbor seal playing, Oregon Zoo

    "I've been privileged to visit zoos all across the globe, and you have something very special in Oregon. Your renewal of support will ensure the Oregon Zoo continues its legacy of excellence, being among the world’s very best.
