LEAVE A LEGACY
Join the community wall of names that helped to bring the zoo and aquarium to North Alabama.
With the Claim Your Spot program, you can select a square (or a few squares) on the grid overlaying the map of the future zoo and aquarium. This map, the claimed spots, and a directory of who sponsored the spots will have a permanent placement at the front of the zoo as visitors walk in. This will be one of the rare few chances to have your name, a love one's name, or your business displayed in front of the zoo. The map will live here virtually until the day the zoo opens its gates.
- Celebrate loved ones
- Get one for yourself
- Commemorate special moments
- Recognize an organization important to you
Funds raised directly fuel our mission to establish the North Alabama Zoo and secure the perfect site. Be part of something lasting and impactful—join us today!
