Happy Father’s Day from the Greenville Zoo!

The Greenville Zoo is celebrating dads on Sunday, June 16.
Dads get free admission with a paid child admission.

Celebrate National Zoo and Aquarium Month
by Supporting Your Local Zoo!

Here are a few ways you can do it:

Consider giving a recurring monthly gift. Donations play a vital role in sustaining the Greenville Zoo, as admission cost alone does not cover all operational needs. Give today at greenvillezoofoundation.org/Annual-Campaign.

Buy a Greenville Zoo membership. Get $5 off select memberships on Fridays in June! Want to visit other zoos? The Greenville Zoo is an AZA-accredited zoo, which means members get FREE or DISCOUNTED admission at many other AZA-accredited zoos. You can purchase a membership at the ticket booth or by calling 864-627-4542.

Attend a Greenville Zoo Foundation concert. The Greenville Zoo partners with PNC Bank to host the wildest outdoor concerts in Greenville – PNC Bank Zoo Tunes! See Hayes Carll on June 28 and St. Paul & the Broken Bones on August 24. Take advantage of our special Father’s Day discount by purchasing tickets to both concerts for only $85 by Sunday, June 16 at midnight!

World Giraffe Day

Friday, June 21, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Come help us celebrate the animals with the longest necks - giraffes! Visit the zoo to learn all about giraffes, from what they eat and how they survive in the wild, to the ways we care for them. This year, the zoo has the added excitement of Autumn’s pregnancy!
