Christmas at the Zoo

Critter & Community Food Drive

Peanut butter, dried fruit, tuna, unsalted peanuts, popcorn, etc. Our critters love food enrichment! Anything we can’t use (somethings are more people than animal), we’ll donate to Lord’s Cupboard Food Pantry. For every donated food item: one person gets into the event for FREE!

New & Used Toy Drive

Xylophones to toy phones, sit & scoots, toddler slides, wading pools, ball pits, etc. Especially those washable surface toys, if you’re done playing with them, we’ll take them off your hands! Used toys are excellent enrichment options. 

Any USED toys the zoo is unable to use we will donate to Dakota Boys & Girls Ranch. Any NEW toys you’re willing to donate we will get to the toy drive at Minot Area Homeless Coalition. Any toy you bring – new or used – one toy: one person gets into the event for FREE!
