The sun may be setting on summer 🌅, but we’re squeezing in one last hurrah 🥳 at our End of Summer Bash on Saturday, August 2nd from 12:00 – 4:00pm!

This lively, community-centered event is sure to provide wild fun for everyone! Root for Big Homies Inc vs. Reck League in an epic youth basketball tournament showdown 🏀, support local by shopping a book fair of small, independent businesses 📚, create enrichment for our animals, connect with valuable community groups and resources, and so much more! Summer doesn’t last forever, but family memories at the Virginia Zoo certainly do. 🫶

The Virginia Zoo will also be giving back to our community through a School Supplies & Coat Donation Drive! We will be collecting for our School Supplies/Coat Donation Drive from July 1 – August 2. All school supplies gathered will be donated to support local kids through our partner organizations Big Homies and Reck League. ✏️ 📓  Coats collected will be donated to local organization S.T.A.R Haven to help their efforts in our community. 🧥 Each donation earns you the chance to win awesome prizes (click here for more information). 🐾
