In the past, our Red Panda exhibit was one of our most popular exhibits and we want to make an even better one for the future! This new proposed Red Panda Exhibit will bring a four-season, multi-zone climate controlled habitat at the Utica Zoo with many new and convenient viewing angles for visitors. Additionally, this new exhibit will allow us to make encounters with a Red Panda all the more special (a feat that will regularly bring a boost to the local tourism economy of the Greater Mohawk Valley).
The Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida counties have already provided a lead gift of $70,000 to begin the planning phase of this new, state-of-the-art exhibit. This lead gift is approximately 10% of the total funds needed to fully fund the exhibit. Help us reach our goal and donate today!
