Our Zoo Re-imagined

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.

A transformation that will benefit our animals, our guests, and our community
