Bench memorials are a great way to honor a loved one or contribute to the Zoo, benches sell for $800 and include the following:

- Flagstone around seating area and the plaque
- Permanent installation by cement posts in the ground
- Brass plaque screwed into wood (some limitation to amount of words. The more wording, the smaller the typeset)

Zoo Staff will determine areas to install benches, but all will be visible. Previous bench adopters will be given first option in regards to location placement.

Beautification of your Potter Park Zoo Grounds Happens because of generous donors. Won't you please consider having YOUR NAME at one of these levels for a year as we transform Michigan's Oldest zoo into all it can be?

Mighty Oaks $10,000

Magnolias $5,000

Roses $3,000

Orchids $2,000

Trilliums $1,000

A permanent recognition marker is placed in the zoo year round with your name on it. Wonderful for memorials, gifts and company matches.
