THE MISSION of the Blank Park Zoo is to inspire an appreciation of the natural world through conservation, education and recreation. The Zoo is operated and funded through the Blank Park Zoo Foundation.
2007 has been an excellent year for the Blank Park Zoo. With new exhibits, educational offerings and recreational opportunities for people of all ages, the Zoo continues to be one of our state’s most highly attended cultural attractions. The Blank Park Zoo is Iowa’s only Zoo, accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. It is funded and operated by our nonprofit Foundation, an organization committed to advancing the Zoo’s mission of conservation, education and recreation. This year’s highlights included: • Attendance of over 350,000, including residents from every county in Iowa, as well as visitors from around the nation and the world. • Education programs serving over 75,000—a number that has more than doubled in the past two years, including over 25,000 students visiting for on-site field trips. • Over 7,000 dedicated Zoo members representing over 20,000 family members. As we celebrate our past successes here at the Zoo, we are also looking forward to a promising future of growth and change. The Blank Park Zoo Foundation is fully committed to expanding the Zoo as a world-class facility, with programs and services that extend throughout our state. The Zoo belongs to all of us, and the Foundation would like to extend its gratitude to the many generous donors, volunteers, community leaders and visitors who have helped to make this year such an outstanding success. Your continued support and interest is instrumental in making the Blank Park Zoo an institution that can truly be called: Your Zoo – Our Zoo – Iowa’s Zoo.
