Know Before You Go: To ensure the safety of staff and guests, we've made modifications to the Zoo experience in accordance with public guidance and health recommendations. Please review our updated FAQs (FPZ and SZ) before your visit. Members: Online reservations are required for your visit.
If you're interested in not only helping the environment but contributing to a worthy cause, bring your empty bottles and cans to Stone Zoo during the Bottle and Can Drive --held the second Saturday of each month, April through October. Proceeds from the annual fundraiser benefit conservation efforts supported by Zoo New England. Check out the full schedule here.
Need a place to get rid of that pile of newspapers? Head on over to Stone Zoo, where you’ll find a receptacle for recycling bulk paper (located in the parking lot).

The animals benefit from recycling, too! We repurpose items like egg cartons, paper towel rolls and phone books for animal enrichment. We use reusable containers for animals’ diets, and we even use shredded paper bags for animal bedding.
