Last Chance to be a Part of the Zoo's New Carousel

The Zoo's new carousel is open! The top of the carousel highlights birds in flight, including the bald eagle, scarlet macaw, Costa's hummingbird, and Atlantic puffin. You can support the carousel today by sponsoring a bird in flight on a scenery panel, shield or mural.

Honor your loved ones and support the Zoo with your donation of $500 or more. Donors or their honorees will receive recognition on the carousel for 10 years.

For details, contact Cassandra Thomas: thomasc@si.edu or 202.633.3027
