Get In Touch With Your Inner Animal!

Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo has a mission, and we need you to help us accomplish it. Quite simply, we need to present the richness of nature to everyone we come in contact with. We need to show how fragile our environment is and how connected we are to each and every living thing. Most importantly, we need to inspire positive action. We need to get everyone involved in making a difference for nature. And you can get involved by becoming part of Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo family!

Whether you want to become a Zoo member and enjoy the Zoo with your family throughout the year, or become a Zoo volunteer and inspire our visitors, or perhaps you'd like to contribute to one of our many sponsorship and conservation projects; however you'd like to become involved, we welcome you!
