The Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens excels at spreading the message of conservation to the more than 300,000 guests that pass through our gates each year, and the millions of residents in Central Florida. With a focus on education, we provide experiences that excite and inspire action each and every day.
As a 501(c)3 non-profit conservation and education resource for the region, the Central Florida Zoo offers an affordable family experience that would not be possible without the support of private donations. We bring the natural world of threatened, exotic and endangered animals to our guests who may not otherwise have such an opportunity.
Through the continued support of our visitors and donors, the Zoo creates lasting learning opportunities, through exceptional animal care and welfare, in beautiful naturalist surroundings in Central Florida.
Simply put, there is no Zoo without you!

Our keepers are involved in our animals’ lives and welfare from birth to death and every moment in between, and create life long bonds with the animals and our visitors. A Zoo staff member’s day can include an array of tasks from cleaning, food preparation and feeding, to medical treatment, training, enrichment, landscaping, exhibit design, and animal introductions, as well as public outreach, education, and much MUCH more.
We’ve made it even easier for you to have an impact on the daily activities that our animals and their keepers take part in! The Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens’ Amazon Wish List contains everything from animal enrichment items and treats, to medical supplies and even pieces for their exhibits.
We welcome donations from the public of the following items currently on the Central Florida Zoological Society’s Amazon Wish List. These specific items have been requested by our keepers, veterinary and education staff members. Be sure you select the CFZ&BG Charity address from the options when you check out, otherwise the item will be sent directly to you vs. the Zoo.
There are many companies and organizations that offer employee matching programs. These programs allow employees to give to the charity of their choice with the company/organization matching a portion of that gift. Please check with your employer to see if you have a participating program that will match your gift to the Zoo. If your employer requires the Central Florida Zoological Society Inc.’s Employer Identification Number (EIN)/Federal Tax Identification Number, please use 59-1357197.
The most flexible way to make an estate gift to the Zoo is by including our organization in your will or trust. Bequests represent a significant future revenue source for the Zoo while also offering you the flexibility to control or make changes to your charitable plans in the future.
