Love Your Mother

Posted by Kirsten Pisto, Communications

Love your mother! As Mother Day approaches, we're going to help you out with a few ways to show your love. Whether you are shopping for your mom, your grandma, your sister, your bestie or yourselfwe've got some gift ideas fit for any queen.


ZOO MEMBERSHIP
You know what all moms love? Time with you! Pick up a Woodland Park Zoo membership for your mom and she'll think of you each time she visits the zoo, plus with visitor passes, she'll be able to bring you along! It's the Mother's Day gift that lasts all year, supports conservation and connects mom with the animals she loves most (besides you of course). Purchase a membership today: https://www.zoo.org/membership



A DELICIOUS EVENING
This tawny frogmouth mama knows what’s best for her chicks' palates. WildBites will win your mom over too! Treat her to an evening of delicious bites and fabulous cocktails on September 6. Get your tickets today: https://www.zoo.org/wildbites Sip. Savor. Save Wildlife.


A PICNIC IN THE ROSE GARDEN
Nadiri taught Yola to stop and smell the flowers. Invite your mom to a picnic in the Woodland Park Zoo Rose Garden, the perfect spot for an afternoon chat and chance to catch up. We highly recommend a visit to nearby neighborhood eateries on Phinney Ave such as A La Mode for pie or Fresh Flours for a sweet treat! 


ECO-FRIENDLY FASHION
Helen shows Aibek how to dress for success as a ghost cat. Pay mom back for all her fabulous fashion advice and see what's in style at the ZooStore. Summery t-shirts, animal-inspired prints and eco-friendly favorites make the perfect Mother's Day gift. (Shop online at www.zoostore.zoo.org ) Check out items from our Snow Leopard Trust collectionwhich directly support local crafters in Mongolia. The Snow Leopard Trust helps communities create a sustainable economy and practice traditional wool-working skills, in return the herders protect the snow leopards!


A NIGHT OF WINE (NOT WHINE)
Sloth bear mamas know a thing or two (hehe) about clingy kiddos. A ticket to Tasting Flight is the perfect way for mom to unwind. Experience the Northwest’s finest boutique wines on the zoo’s North Meadow on July 26. $38 per person, get your tickets here: https://www.zoo.org/tastingflight


CONCERT WITH HER FAVORITE KIDDO
Mom knows exactly what we like. Show her you care with a special night of music just for you and her (or invite your siblings too)! Join us at a ZooTunes concert, and make it special with a picnic basket just for her. Get your picnic on: https://www.zoo.org/zootunes/picnic and pick her (your) favorite music: https://www.zoo.org/zootunes We'll see you there!


Happy Mother's Day to all you lovely mamas, sisters, aunties and bestiesit takes a village and we're so lucky to have you in our lives.
