Celebrate Earth Day the WILD way by joining our Party for the Planet!   Get inspired to take environmental action not just on Earth Day, but every day. Greet Animal Ambassadors, learn about all the Zoo’s conservation efforts, hear from community partners about how they make a difference for our planet, and much more!

Party for the Planet is North America’s largest combined Earth Day celebration, with over 120 Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) accredited facilities participating in the fun. You won’t want to miss these terra-ific festivities here at the Virginia Zoo!
