Pride Celebration

See our grizzly bears enjoy rainbow popsicles, our badgers unwrap and forage through Pride presents, and more. Animals will enjoy rainbow-themed enrichment (like rainbow ice treats and rainbow fruit skewers) all weekend long! Many habitats will be decorated with more than just rainbows. Different communities under the LGBTQ+ umbrella will see their flag colors represented through banners, paper chains, and tissue paper poofs – all of which are enrichment for our animals.

Throughout the park you will find colorful decorations, and a photo op banner outside our Cheney Discovery Center. Connect with our visiting partners from Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and our Northwest Trek Zookeepers Association to find ways to support your community.

The series of events that make up the Tacoma Pride Festival will take place through the month of July. Join an event and honor the community members and organizations that support the LGBTQ+ community.
