 By donating an item on the Santa Barbara Zoo's "Wish List," you can provide needed supplies and materials that enrich the environment for our animals and support the Zoo's many research programs and activities. If you would like to donate or purchase an item, please contact Elaine Mah Best via email or phone (805) 962-5339, ext. 109. You can also donate towards an item on the Wish List.
We also have consumable enrichment items that don't last forever, so we always have a need to replace them. Check out our Enrichment of the Month list if you would like to donate some of these items. We thank you for your support!
