MEMBERSHIP AND VISITOR SERVICES - 2020 WAS A CHALLENGING YEAR FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD AND THE SACRAMENTO ZOO IS NO DIFFERENT. THE ZOO CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC ON TWO OCCASIONS IN 2020 AS A RESULT OF PUBLIC HEALTH ORDERS THAT WERE ISSUED IN RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. DESPITE THESE MANDATORY CLOSURES WHICH OCCURRED MARCH 14 THROUGH JUNE 12, 2020 AND DECEMBER 8, 2020 THROUGH JANUARY 15, 2021, THE ZOO ENTERTAINED AND EDUCATED 277,356 VISITORS.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.4MProgram 3 [2020]
EDUCATION AND SUSTAINABILITY - EVEN WITH THE PANDEMIC, THE SACRAMENTO ZOO CONTINUED TO EDUCATE BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS. INITIALLY, VIA ONLINE PROGRAMMING AND THEN THROUGH LIMITED CONTACT ON-SITE PROGRAMMING.IN 2020 WE DID THREE VIRTUAL CAMPS FOR 92 CHILDREN, AT THAT POINT THE FAMILIES WERE STILL AT HOME BUT COULD VISIT THE ZOO VIRTUALLY. WE ALSO BEGAN OUR VIRTUAL CLASS PROGRAMMING FOR APPROXIMATELY 1,050 SCHOOL CHILDREN AND FAMILIES THROUGH OUR ZOO TO YOUR VIRTUAL PROGRAM.ONCE IT WAS SAFE TO HAVE VISITORS BACK ON ZOO GROUNDS, WE REINSTATED OUR BEHIND-THE-SCENES TOURS. OVER 250 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN THIS UNIQUE PROGRAM WHICH PERMITS THE VISITOR TO EXPERIENCE THE ANIMALS FROM THE KEEPERS VIEWPOINT. WE ALSO SLOWLY STARTED BRINGING BACK SOME OF OUR EDUCATIONAL VOLUNTEER DOCENTS TO HELP ENGAGE AND INFORM THE GUESTS AS THEY TOURED THE ZOO.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1M
