News from the John Ball Zoo

JOHN BALL ZOO.....

caring for animals...it's what we do.

YOU CAN STILL ENJOY THE ZOO!

Due to County budget cuts, the Zoo will be closing for the winter on Dec. 7 and reopening on March 1, 2010.

The Zoo may be closed but you can still take advantage of upcoming events and programs throughout the winter!

Special events are being planned for the Ballroom in the Zoo Administration Bldg., traveling education outreach programs can be scheduled, and birthday parties can still be booked. Check our schedule of events and sign up for our e-mail newsletter to stay current with zoo activities, animal news, programs and events.

YOU'VE HELPED US RAISE OVER $50,000!!!

Congratulations!!

Keep spreading the word and we can reach our goal by the end of the year.

Donate now and tell your friends.

To help offset serious County budget cuts, the John Ball Zoo Society has offered to raise funds for the first $100,000 of animal food and medical expenses. If we can do it, the Zoo will not need to raise admission prices next year. Thanks to our zoo supporters and members, we're over halfway to our goal. If you haven't made a contribution yet, please help us by making your donation now. We truly appreciate your support during an economy that is requiring everyone to make cutbacks and sacrifices. Your gift means so much. Thank you for all your support.
