Arkansas Zoo Gets $1.2M Boost | Little Rock News

Arkansas Zoological Foundation just dropped a record $1.2 million donation for Little Rock Zoo’s “Project Zoo: Wildly Reimagined,” fueling the biggest zoo makeover in state history. With contributions from the Laura P. Nichols Foundation, community donors, and event fundraisers, this boost joins over $11 million in voter-approved bonds to bring new habitats for lemurs, anteaters, tortoises, capybaras, and squirrel monkeys — plus upgraded visitor experiences like tortoise feeding and a refreshed amphitheater. Grand opening slated for spring 2027; still time to join the effort and help turn this vision into reality — because Arkansas’ only accredited zoo is proving zoos aren’t just about animals, they’re about inspiring conservation.
