Brave like a lion. Generous like a donor.

We’re ab-zoo-lutely wild for our donors!

To show our appreciation to new lifesavers, from April 1–30, 2026 the following donors who visit us to give blood will be entered in a drawing to win a family membership to their choice of the Minnesota Zoo or Lake Superior Zoo:

  • First-time double red cell donors
  • First-time plasma donors
  • First- or second-time platelet donors

One first-time double red cell donor, one first- or second-time platelet donor, and one first-time plasma donor will be drawn to receive a zoo membership of their choice, for a total of two (2) memberships awarded.

There is no substitute for blood. Eligible donors: step up today and help meet the need.
