#CLOSEDBUTSTILLCARING: Our gates are closed, but the work still goes on here at the Dallas Zoo and at the Children's Aquarium at Fair Park, so we asked our Chief Mission Officer Harrison Edell to give you a look at what a day in the life is like at the Zoo during these unprecedented times. We've adjusted schedules but we have teams coming in every single day to care for the more than 2,000 animals at the Zoo and the more than 4,000 animals that call the Aquarium home, as well as to maintain our facilities. Unfortunately, even though the turnstiles have stopped, our expenses continue – to the tune of more than $600,000 per week right now. As a non-profit, we rely on tickets sales, member support, and donations to fund a large percentage of our operations, so we're hurting right now. So many of you have reached out to ask how you can help support us during this time, and that means so much – we truly have the most incredible followers around!
We need your support now more than ever. Please consider donating to our Emergency Operations Fund now to help us ensure we're ready to welcome you back once we're ready to re-open. DONATE HERE: bit.ly/3dIBm1M
