Feed the Animals

"Put your money where my mouth is"
Did you know it costs over $1,400 a day to feed and care for the animals at the Zoo?  Mountains of Mealworms, truckloads of hay, bushels of fruit and mounds of meat…the animals at the Zoo have beastly appetites!

 When you help feed the animals, you distinguish yourself as a concerned citizen and an honored supporter of the Zoo.  The Zoo attracts over 100,000 visitors per year and reaches over 24,000 people through innovative education programs.

Your donation of any amount will provide critical support for the animals, aid children’s programming and help preserve a community treasure.

The New York State Zoo is dedicated to excellence in education, conservation, and affordable family fun!
