Memorials & Honoraria

Honor a special person with a tribute or memorial

A tribute or memorial gift to the BioPark Society is a thoughtful way to honor family and friends while providing needed support for the programs and services of the ABQ BioPark's Zoo, Aquarium, and Botanic Garden. Several recognition programs are available and we will work with you to structure the tribute or memorial.

Memorial Donations — Tax-deductible donations in memory of departed love ones may be made to the New Mexico BioPark Society. All donors will receive acknowledgement information, and the family will receive notification if possible. Please contact us for assistance if you would like the donations to be designated to a specific area or program within the BioPark, and to share family contact information. 

Celebration Sculpture — Designed to celebrate loved ones and significant events, the Celebration Sculpture is centrally located to the north of the Cottonwood Park's bandshell, between the Seals & Sea Lions exhibit and Cottonwood Café. Custom engraving on black granite can include a beloved animal species from the Zoo. Tribute plaque sizes range from 3"x6" to 12"x12" and begin at $100. For more information, call (505) 764-6291 or email nmbpsdevelopment@comcast.com. View Brochure
