🦒🐧 **WE ARE OPEN TODAY — SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2026!** 🦓🦩
Come spend your Saturday with us at Brights Zoo! We're open from **10 AM to 5 PM**, with last entry at 3:30 and we'd love to see you and your family!
❤️ **WE ALSO HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL WE WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU!**
For years, Brights Zoo has been more than just a place to see animals. It has been a labor of love, built by our family with a commitment to providing exceptional animal care, protecting wildlife, and inspiring future generations.
Today, Brights Zoo is home to **more than 1,000 animals representing 126 different species.** Behind every animal you see is a dedicated team working every day to provide specialized nutrition, veterinary care, enrichment, and safe, enriching habitats.
What many people don't realize is that caring for these animals requires an extraordinary commitment. **Our annual animal nutrition costs alone exceed $1 million.**
As we look toward the future, we want to do even more.
🌿 **INTRODUCING THE BRIGHTS ZOO WILDLIFE FOUNDATION!**
We are excited to introduce the **Brights Zoo Wildlife Foundation**, a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created to support exceptional animal care, wildlife conservation, education, and future projects that will make a lasting difference.
For years, our family has carried the responsibility of building and growing Brights Zoo. Now, through the Foundation, we are inviting our friends, visitors, local businesses, and everyone who shares our passion for animals to become part of that journey.
❤️ **HOW CAN YOU HELP?**
Whether it's a $10 donation, a monthly contribution, or a business sponsoring a new animal habitat, every gift has the potential to make a difference.
Your support can help provide exceptional animal care, improve habitats, advance conservation efforts, and create educational opportunities for generations to come.
We have some exciting projects ahead, and we would love for our community to be part of making them possible.
**You don't have to make a large donation to make a difference.** Every contribution matters, and simply sharing our mission with others helps us reach people who care about wildlife as much as we do.
🦒 **Our family started Brights Zoo with a love for animals. With your support, we can build something that will benefit wildlife for generations to come.**
Please take a moment to visit our new Foundation website, learn about our mission, and consider becoming one of our first supporters.

From our family and the entire Brights Zoo team, thank you for the years of encouragement, visits, and support. We couldn't have built what we have today without you, and we are excited about what we can accomplish together.
**Together, we can make a difference for wildlife.** ❤️
