  • The Wild Things

 

The Wild Things is a Young Professionals Group (ages 21 to 44) at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens. The group aims to support the Zoo by increasing awareness for programs and conservation efforts, raising funds to support the Zoo's programs and initiatives, and connecting members with the Zoo through animal encounters, educational programs, volunteer opportunities, and social events.

Individuals must have an active Zoo membership to join The Wild Things (not a Member? Join today). Annual dues for The Wild Things are only $20.
