Public and Member Events
Special Events
Friends of the National Zoo hosts a variety of fun and educational special events and celebrations throughout the year, including ZooLights. Some are free, some are fundraisers and all are guaranteed a great time.
Children's Birthday Parties
FONZ household members and donor-level members have the opportunity to host a birthday party at the National Zoo for children turning four to eight.
Sponsor an Event
Through event sponsorship, area corporations reach thousands of Washington metro-area families to generate top-of-mind awareness, initiate product trial, and build sales through product/incentive offers. At the same time, sponsor contributions support the Zoo’s important wildlife conservation, research, and public education programs.
