A BENEFIT FOR THE BRANDYWINE ZOO
SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 2025
IMAGINE THIS… A NEW LOOK—NEW HABITATS—NEW GUEST EXPERIENCES
For more than 120 years, the Brandywine Zoo has been a landmark in Wilmington and a beloved destination for generations of Delawareans. This jewel is undergoing significant changes chartered by the Zoo’s Master Plan that re-imagines the Zoo with a balanced project approach between infrastructure, guest services, and modern animal habitats.
As the plan unfolds, there will be both public and behind-the-scenes changes. To accomplish this transformation, the Delaware Zoological Society is asking for your help by contributing to the capital campaign called Our Zoo Re-imagined. Contact Mark Shafer at (302) 407-4413.
