A Spot to Remember is a garden created in appreciation of the individuals who have been honored or memorialized by their friends and loved ones through a contribution to the Cleveland Zoological Society.

Create a lasting memorial tribute to a loved one — or celebrate an anniversary, birthday, graduation or wedding. All donations are 100% tax-deductible — and your donation will be meaningful and much appreciated.

Our Zoo offers many different ways for you to honor or remember the animal lover in your life.
