·Como Zoo's Donor Plaza

Como Zoo's Donor Plaza is located near the Bird Exhibit and in front of the Zoological Building. Bricks frame a giant animal mural that is etched into the concrete surface of the Plaza.

A Donor Plaza brick is appropriate for both individuals and corporations and serves as a permanent commemoration of your memories of Como Zoo. Gifts support expanded programs and exhibits at Como Zoo.

You can choose from a variety of brick sizes, each which is customized to your preference. Messages are sandblasted on a brick and sealed for protection from Minnesota's winters.

The cost per brick ranges from $150 - $25,000 based on the size of the brick:

• 4"x8" bricks with 3 lines of print, 12 characters per line, $150
• 8"x8" bricks with 6 lines of print, 12 characters per line, $275
• 2'x2' bricks custom lettering, $1,000
• 4'x4' bricks custom lettering, $10,000
