Conservation Events
All events at Utica Zoo support our mission to inspire connections to wildlife through conservation education. Our conservation events support specific organizations that research or work to improve our planet. When you attend one of these events, you’ll not only learn about the importance of these organizations, but positively contribute to their efforts.
Upcoming Events:
