Event Opportunities
Sponsoring an event allows your company to reach thousands of attendees and members in a way that traditional advertising and promotions can’t. Sponsorship benefits offer extensive recognition, which may include your logo linked with the event name; your company featured on the zoo’s website and in publicity; and recognition in paid advertising, in zoo emails, in social media posts, and on event signage—plus the opportunity to host experiential activations on-grounds to engage with event participants.
On-grounds promotions offer single- or multiple-day opportunities to sample your product and engage with visitors on a busy summer weekend or during a well-attended special event.
