Remember or Honor the Ones You Love through Knoxville Zoo

(the amount of the gift will not be indicated).



 

Tribute Bench Program

Designate a favorite corner of Knoxville Zoo in honor of a special person or event or in memory of a loved one. We will work with you to find the perfect spot for your tribute bench near a favorite animal, exhibit or garden. A beautiful and everlasting bronze plaque will be cast with your personalized inscription and mounted on a park bench. Benches create a lasting place of honor to visit for years to come and are available for donations of $1,500 or more.
