The Tulsa Zoo touches the lives of more than half a million people each year. With this impact on the community, it’s no wonder so many choose the Tulsa Zoo to celebrate with honorary and memorial gifts.

Benches are located throughout the zoo and offer a unique way to memorialize loved ones by creating a place to visit and remember them. Memorial benches include a plaque that can be customized according to the donor’s instructions. Tulsa Zoo staff will assist the donor in determining the location of the bench.

For a contribution of $3,500 you may select a new elephant bench, $2,500 you may select a bench in Lost Kingdom, all other benches around the zoo are $1,500.
