We offer garden plots, benches and tree plantings as ways to memorialize your loved one on zoo grounds. Donations for categories are as follows:
$1,000 for a garden plot

$5,000 for a tree planting
Each of the categories listed above includes a plaque with a custom message of your choosing (500 characters or less). These options all have 10 year term limits and may be renewed at the end of the 10 years.
Note: Names not renewed will be removed on January 31st of the 10th year.
Planned giving
If you've ever wanted to express your appreciation for the Alaska Zoo, a gift in your estate plan could be the perfect option for you. Whether you make a gift today or after your lifetime, you will help to provide lasting experiences that inspire people and motivate them to care for the natural world. With a little planning today, your impact can be felt for generations to come.
