Give to the Max Day is Thursday, November 21 with early giving starting November 1! Give to the Max for Como!
At Como Friends, we envision a future in which Como Park Zoo & Conservatory is a global leader in conservation, animal care and horticulture with barrier-free access for all.
Like all treasures, Como Park Zoo & Conservatory requires a special kind of care—a constant presence committed to safeguarding its history and securing its future. Thanks to your support for Como Friends, the historic Como Zoo and the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory have the resources they need to thrive.
Como Park Zoo & Conservatory was founded in 1897 by visionaries and volunteers who saw the need for a great public green space where Minnesota families could come to reconnect with nature—and with each other. That legacy of giving continues today with your Planned Gifts.
As a member of Como Friends, you’re carrying on a century-long tradition of community support at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory, helping to keep this community treasure free and accessible, every day of the year.
Located in the heart of the Visitor Center at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory with seasonal locations throughout Como Zoo and in Como Town—every purchase you make helps support the plants, animals, and free admission you love at Como.
From the elegant Sunset Affair summer gala, to the exciting new Como Quest family fundraiser, Como Friends’ special events bring the community together for unique experiences that inspire generous support for all of Como’s plants, animals and conservation programs.
A Minnesota tradition since 1897, Como Park Zoo & Conservatory welcomes more visitors than any other cultural institution in the state. Support from Como Friends’ corporate partners is critical to ensuring this regional asset is the best it can be today—and even better tomorrow!
