Support Sunset Zoo

Sunset Zoo is a division of the City of Manhattan's Park and Recreation Department and is supported by two 501c3 not-for-profits, the Friends of Sunset Zoo and the Sunset Zoological Park and Wildlife Conservation Trust. Found in 1933, the Zoo was developed as a way to enhance our community's quality of life, a value that remains integral to our operations today. Learn more about our history.

Help Us Preserve Our Natural World

As an accredited Association of Zoos and Aquariums institution, we are challenged daily to inspire the conservation of the natural world; private support is crucial to meet our education and wildlife conservation goals.

Your support, no matter the level, joins a network of 200-plus AZA-accredited Zoos and Aquariums working to save endangered animals worldwide. Learn how to make a difference through your local Zoo:
