Please Note: Our Brick Program is currently on pause.

Commemorative Bricks

Have your support set in stone at CT’s only Zoo. A commemorative brick is a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday, graduation, wedding, or birth; it is also a special way to commemorate a loved one or pet. Buy a commemorative brick today and your support will set the foundation for future projects and improvements at the Zoo.

Bricks are currently being installed just past the Front Gate for all guests to view. Our display is growing rapidly – contact us today to secure your spot! For only $100, your brick will remain a staple of the Zoo for many years to come. Donations are tax-deductible and you will receive a tax receipt before the end of the year.

As an effort to reduce our carbon footprint through shipping, see below for our brick ordering schedule. Please note that arrival and in ground times are subject to change due to weather. We greatly appreciate your patience!

Commemorative Benches

Honor a special person, occasion, or pet with a commemorative bench at Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo. Commemorative benches provide a lasting gift, beautify Zoo grounds and enhance our guest experience.
​
We have several areas around the Zoo available for benches – choose something near a favorite exhibit or memorable spot. Benches are $2,200 for Zoo Members and $2,500 for Non-Members. All funds raised from this program support Zoo operations and educational programming.

​For more information or to place your order over the phone, please call Jessica Taylor at 203-394-6565 ext.115 or e-mail jtaylor@beardsleyzoo.org.
