SEVEN SEAS STADIUM PLAQUES
Stadium plaques are available for personalization and placement in the Seven Seas Dolphinarium. The zoo pledges to display the plaques for no less than 15 years from the time of installation. At the end of this time, the donor will have the opportunity to renew this recognition with an additional gift at the prevailing gift amount. Cost determined by proximity to the main dolphin pool, with closest seats being the highest in value. Stadium plaques are priced at the following ranges: $1,000, $2,500, or $5,000.

TREE PLAQUES
We offer donors the opportunity for recognition for themselves, or a loved one, through the dedication of a tree plaque. Donors may choose to place the plaque at the base of an existing tree on zoo grounds, or they may plant a new tree or sapling for an additional gift. We work with the Society’s horticulture team to install the plaque, which will be displayed for no less than 15 years at Brookfield Zoo Chicago. Click for more information & to order. 

TRIBUTE BENCHES
We offer donors the opportunity for recognition for themselves, or a loved one, through the dedication of a bench plaque. These park benches are placed throughout the zoo grounds, which allows donors to participate in this tribute program by supporting the values and mission of Brookfield Zoo Chicago through long-term recognition. Bench tributes are priced based on selected locations, and recognition is guaranteed for no less than 15 years from the time of installation. Click for more information & to order.
