Trying to find the perfect gift during the holiday season can be stressful. Having to run around from store to store, looking for an item that your loved one will really cherish is a daunting task.
But lucky for you, at the Sedgwick County Zoo Store, we offer something for everyone. So, take the stress out of holiday shopping and give a gift they’ll never forget.
For the Zoo Lover
For the person in your life who loves the Zoo, why not give the gift of membership?
When you purchase the Sedgwick County Zoo’s Holiday Gift Membership, you not only get two additional guest passes, but 15 months of membership for the cost of 12.
Enjoy unlimited visits to the Zoo, early entry, discounts on special events, and more.
When you become a Zoo Member you can live the wild life every day.
For the Fashionista
For your friend with a passion for fashion, the Zoo Store offers a wide range of clothing and jewelry options.
Why not rep your favorite Zoo with one of our many logo tees and hoodies? Available in a wide range of colors and cuts, it’s easy to find the perfect fit.
The Zoo Store also offers unique jewelry options. From pendant necklaces to bangle bracelets, whether you prefer silver, gold, or if you mix your metals, there’s something that will fit your personal style perfectly.
For the Chef
For the friend who loves to cook, the Zoo Store offers plenty of aids for the kitchen. Serving trays, utensils, and spoon dishes galore- cooking just took on a wild twist.
Our line of farm-themed cooking wares take the term “farm to table” to a whole new level.
And why not add something sweet to your next recipe? Pick up honey made by the bees that call SCZ home. This honey comes with a myriad of flavorful add-ins – from raspberry to cinnamon and even garlic.
The Zoo Store has plenty of items to make you say, “Yes, Chef!”
For the Coffee Lover
For the caffeine fiend in your life, the Zoo Store has everything they need to brew the perfect cup of coffee.
Enjoy a cup of Chesapeake Coffee. This bird-friendly brand is grown under the shade of the trees in the rainforest, avoiding clear-cutting. And each blend is certified organic- meaning the coffee beans are grown without the use of pesticides that harm the environment.
And of course, once you brew your perfect cup of coffee, you’ll need a cup to drink out of. Lucky that the Zoo Store has you covered there as well.
For the Kids
For the kids your life, give a gift that encourages imaginative play.
From action figures to plushes, grabbers to binoculars, the sky’s the limit on kids’ imagination.
And if your kid knows exactly what they want for Christmas, then they’ll need to write Santa a letter, of course. The Zoo Store now has a mailbox set up where kids can mail their letters to Santa. Just have them write out their wishlist and our Zoo Team will make sure it’s delivered to the North Pole.
For the Environmentalist
We all have that friend who loves the environment more than anyone we know. They go on marches for the planet and they’ve seen every episode of “Planet Earth” at least twice.
You want to be eco-conscious with their gift, so why not get them something that has a positive impact on the environment.
Reusable straws, water bottles, bags, and lunchboxes all help to cut down on single-use plastic waste. It’s a gift that your favorite environmentalist, and our planet earth, will appreciate.
For the Animal Lover
While you can’t literally bring your favorite Zoo animal home with you, you can always get a token to remember them by- a plush animal.
The Zoo Store has a menagerie of plush animals just waiting to go home with you.
And if you want, you can always “adopt” an animal. When you become a Zoo Pal and adopt an animal, your donation goes directly towards the care of Sedgwick County Zoo animals.
With your donation, you can receive recognition in the Zoo, an adoption certificate, and a plush animal- just to name a few perks of adoption.
For the Scholar
When we learn more about the animals we share our earth with, it has a positive impact on their wild habitat.
So, for the scholar in your life who’s always craving more information, you can’t go wrong gifting them a book.
From memoirs on conservationists to books centered on a specific species, there’s plenty to learn about at the Zoo Store.
And for the young scholar, the Zoo Store offers just as many reading options.
No matter what age or reading level, a book from the Zoo Store is the perfect gift for the bookworm in your life.
For the Adventurer
Do you know someone who wants to get up close and personal with the animals that call Sedgwick County Zoo home?
When you gift a Wild Encounter, you can do just that!
From rhinoceros to lizards, a Wild Encounters gives you the opportunity to meet with the Zookeepers who care for these animals. You’ll walk away from your Encounter having a new appreciation for the wildlife here at the Zoo, and a unique experience to brag about.
I mean, how many people can say they’ve fed a penguin?
The Zoo Store has something for everyone- it’s a one-stop shop for all your holiday needs.
And while the Zoo Store can be visited without the purchase of a Zoo Ticket, why not give yourself the gift of a trip to Sedgwick County Zoo before checking off all the presents on your holiday shopping list?
