Bring Towels to our Animals – Get a Beachy One for You
When you visit the Zoo for Tropics Days, please bring a pre-loved beach or bath towel – in clean condition – to donate to our animals. In exchange, receive a brand-new Sun Country beach towel.
Sun Country is sponsoring the Tropics Trail, which gives Zoo guests immersive experiences with animals that inhabit biodiversity hotspots around the world.
Your towel donations support expert care for animals – thank you! Limit 1 towel per family, while daily supplies last.
Discover the hidden dangers of animal trafficking with our responsible traveling activity, available from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Upper Tropics. Step into the role of a TSA agent as you inspect a traveler’s suitcase and uncover items that shouldn't be there. This hands-on experience sheds light on the impact of wildlife trafficking, with a special focus on how to be a responsible traveler in tropical regions.
Fuel Your Staycation with Tropical Treats
Snack on two varieties of Trail Mix or cool off with a refreshing fruit smoothie —topped with a fresh fruit skewer and a flower garnish for an extra touch of paradise.

Tropics Days are made possible thanks to the support of Sun Country Airlines for the Minnesota Zoo’s environmental education and wildlife conservation efforts. Sun Country is sponsoring the Tropics Trail, which gives Zoo guests immersive experiences with animals that inhabit biodiversity hotspots around the world. This partnership brings the organizations together to help Minnesota families make connections with and explore the natural world through travel and conservation. While winter is of course a great time to travel, it’s also a great time to visit the Minnesota Zoo for a taste of the Tropics!
