Our
Campaigns
Niabi Zoo Foundation is happy to support the zoo as they move toward the masterplan goal. Looking to the future of this wonderful Midwest jewel, we are excited about changes that will make your experience at Niabi Zoo a memorable one!
Otters

Coming soon! Welcoming otters to our animal family at the Zoo. They will have a new pool in the Biodiversity Building. IN PROGRESS
Cat House

Construction began at the end of 2024 after the winter storm damaged and destroyed the exhibit. Cats were safely transferred to new homes, and the demolition/construction began. Today this represents the progress. A new open exhibit that all visitors will enjoy. IN PROGRESS
Bald Eagle

Construction began in the fall of 2024. This exhibit was also damaged in the 2024 winter storm. All animals are safe.

Niabi Express
Anyone who has visited the Zoo knows that the Niabi Express is a key feature of the park! Most of you may have ridden the train a time or two, when you were little, or when you had your children or now that you have grand children or just because! It is a memory that you remember! Now and then, upkeep or renewal are a necessary result of the continual use...after all it's a machine. Niabi Zoo Foundation is ready to help support what the Zoo needs to keep this treasure running. IN PROGRESS
