Party for the Planet
April 25
Join the Toledo Zoo in celebrating Earth Day and our mission of being advocates for wildlife and conserving the natural world during Party for the Planet!
The Zoo is a perfect place to spend a great “green” day with your family! Learn about environmentally-friendly initiatives, conservation efforts, enjoy animal demonstrations and activities across the Zoo.
Due to City of Toledo budget constraints, recycling services will not be part of Party for the Planet in 2026. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming recycling stations back next year.
