Corporate Membership

Corporate Memberships provide a venue for businesses to invest in the cultural values served by the North Carolina Zoo. In return for their investments, businesses gain visibility and recognition for their support of the Zoo's cultural resources, receive admission passes to visit the Zoo and can take advantage of discounts when renting Zoo picnic areas and meeting rooms. Corporate Members' employees benefit from the relationship, too, realizing an automatic 25 percent discount when they buy a Zoo Society membership.

We scale our Corporate Membership prices to allow small, large and even larger businesses to match their partnership levels with the size of their work force.

Proceeds from Zoo Society's Corporate Memberships help underwrite Zoo operations, making it possible for the Zoo to pursue its missions in conservation, education, recreation and research.
