Franklin Park Zoo

June 7, 2025

Zootopia is back at Franklin Park Zoo for an inspiring evening in celebration of the natural world!

We invite you to join us for an unforgettable night featuring special animal encounters, delicious dinner and drinks, exciting auctions, and more to benefit your Zoos. We are excited to have Matt Noyes, President and Co-Founder of 1DegreeOutside returning as our host for the evening.

Your support of Zootopia 2025 directly benefits Zoo New England's Franklin Park Zoo and Stone Zoo, advancing our mission to save species from extinction, educate guests about wildlife and wild places, and promote critical conservation projects in Boston and beyond. By giving, you inspire the next generation of conservation stewards and connect people of all ages to the wonders of our natural world. Thank you for making this important work possible!
