WILD about your Valentine?

Nothing says LOVE like sharks, prickly pear & dragonflies...

Declare your love for both your Valentine AND the Earth. This year, give your Love Bug (or bugette) a BioPark Parent sponsorship and support his or her favorite flower or fish for a full year! Does your valentine love roses or iris? Or perhaps a shark, turtle, jellyfish or butterfly will fit the bill! Sponsorships begin at only $25, and include your valentine’s name on the Aquarium or Garden recognition board, a species fact sheet, a certificate of sponsorship, and a special “I’m wild about you Valentine” gift tag.

Call 248-8547, or visit www.bioparksociety.org/support/ today! 

Make a date of it. Brunch with the sharks!
Sponsor at the $75 level, and give your valentine all of the above PLUS a framed photograph of your sponsored species AND a special Valentine's Day Love Bug Brunch Buffet for two ($45 value) at the Shark Reef Café (9am-3pm)! Now that’s a sustainable gift!

Back-to-School Sponsorships

Cheer on your school with a BioPark Parent Sponsorship! 

Promote conservation and your school's mascot, too!...

BioPark Parent Sponsorships are a great way to support the community, world, AND your school. Rally your school spirit by supporting a real, live mascot. Or select an animal or plant you are studying in class to directly support the conservation of the species and make visits to the BioPark ever more fun.

•  $25 - Your school, class, or club receives an animal datasheet, certificate of sponsorship, and name on BioPark Parent Recognition Board located in the Zoo, Aquarium, or Botanic Garden.

• $50 – You also receive a 4x6 framed photograph of  your school's or club's sponsored "wild child."

• $250 - Along with a species datasheet (including an electronic version with reproduction rights), receive a special certificate and 5x7 photograph, framed together for exhibition in a hallway or classroom. A BioPark Society representative will personally present the sponsorship to the school, class, or organization if desired.  

 Proceeds through the New Mexico BioPark Society support caregiving, animal enrichment, species procurement, exhibit upgrades, education, and conservation at the Albuquerque BioPark.
