Support The David Traylor Zoo
Become an EFOZ Member
We are proud that admission to the Zoo is complimentary. In order to sustain that, we rely heavily on our generous members. Your membership fees help with animal purchases, holiday lights, library materials, support of education programs and new and continued maintenance of exhibits. Having a zoo of this caliber in a city the size of Emporia is a rare gem, offering an extraordinary opportunity for our community to connect with wildlife and nature in ways typically reserved for much larger metropolitan areas. Become a member today by clicking the button below, and start enjoying your zoo benefits.
Donate in Honor or Memory of Loved Ones & Friends
The Emporia Friends of the Zoo is honored to be the recipient of donations made in tribute to loved ones and friends. Your contribution helps ensure the zoo continues to thrive as a unique treasure for our community, fostering education and a love for wildlife.
To have a plaque placed on the Memorial Wall in their name, commemorating their legacy, requires a $50 minimum donation. This lasting tribute not only celebrates their memory but also supports the care and enrichment of the animals that bring joy and wonder to visitors of all ages.
