Event Sponsorship

Potter Park Zoo’s event sponsorships provide individuals and businesses the opportunity to demonstrate their initiatives to thousands of guests annually. These sponsorship opportunities provide brand visibility for your business and demonstrate a strong commitment to the community.

Potter Park Zoo has an impressive line-up of Special Events throughout the year. In the spring, Zoo Nights kicks off the year for the zoo’s first adults only event of the season. In the summer, the zoo brings the heat with Zoo Days and in the fall the zoo celebrates with Boo at the Zoo, its annual Halloween event. Wonderland of Lights, the zoo’s annual holiday-lights event, wraps up the year!
