Tribute Brick Campaign
Looking for a timeless, heartfelt gift for someone wild about the Zoo?
Tribute bricks not only serve as a celebration of friends and family but they also provide building blocks for our future, helping to make Riverbanks Zoo a better place for the animals, our children and our community. Donate a brick in his or her honor and the family name or your special message will become a part of Riverbanks’ history.
Act Now!
A limited number of 4x8 bricks are available in the Zoo’s Entrance Plaza.
Reserve yours today with a charitable gift of $100 per brick.
NEW Desktop Keepsake Bricks Available
Miniature paperweight-size replicas of your 4x8 bricks can now also be ordered and picked up at the Zoo for an additional donation of $30 per brick—or we can ship the replica for $5 more.
How it Works
A certificate of engraving will be mailed to the brick donor within 5–10 days of receiving the order.
