2025 Holiday Gift Guide
SF Zoo is your one-stop shop for all your holiday gift-giving needs! There’s something for everyone, including gifts for the kids, relatives, friends and neighbors!
And all of your purchases benefit the Zoo by helping to support our mission to connect people with wildlife, inspire caring for nature, and advance conservation action. Your gift will go a long way to show your love of the Zoo and the animals who live here!
GIFT MEMBERSHIP
A gift membership is the ultimate gift providing your loved one with an entire year’s worth of Zoo visits! Memberships include special discounts, exclusive access to special events, previews and more!
Gift memberships are available for all membership tiers and become active when the gift recipient redeems the gift at the ticket window or by emailing [email protected].
GIFT A GUARDIAN MEMBERSHIP!
A gift membership is one thing, a Guardian Membership takes things to the next level! This esteemed group of Zoo supporters provides core support that enables the Zoo to offer the highest quality animal care, leadership in conservation and a safe family-friendly destination. Guardians receive special access and at various levels, receive customized, behind-the-scenes tours.
MAKE A DONATION
Donate any amount on behalf of a loved one and your dollars will go a long way to help us feed and care for our animals and support the Zoo’s mission of conservation.
Let the recipient know that you donated in their name.
VIP TOURS
Give the gift of one-of-a-kind animal experiences with a voucher for a VIP Tour! Stroll the Leanne B. Roberts African Savanna and feed a giraffe while learning about our animals and our conservation efforts. As VIPs, your guests will receive discounts and a free carousel ride! Per person prices apply.
ADOPT AN ANIMAL
One of the coolest gifts around is a special, symbolic adoption of our resident animals through our Adopt-an-Animal program. Your loved one can receive any number of animals, from a penguin or lemur to a red panda or gorilla. We offer different adoption levels, and it makes a great gift for friends or family, and importantly, supports the Zoo’s wildlife conservation programs.
GIVE A CUSTOM BRICK OR TILE
Give the gift of legacy with our personalized bricks and tiles engraved with a special message, moment, or name of a loved one. Engraved bricks are 4″ x 8″ clay bricks, a brick array is comprised of four 8″ x 8″ bricks, and tiles are 6″ x 6″ made of clay. Bricks and tiles are permanently placed around the Zoo for all to see!
