Love is in the air at Brookfield Zoo Chicago this Valentine’s Day, and whether you’re planning a romantic date, a Galentine’s Day outing or a wildly unique gift, Brookfield Zoo Chicago offers experiences and gifts to show affection while supporting wildlife conservation.
Brookfield Zoo Chicago’s annual Name a Cockroach fundraiser returns, offering the opportunity to honor a special—or not-so-special—someone in your life, according to a news release.
For just a $15 donation now through Feb. 14, a Madagascar hissing cockroach will be symbolically named after the person of your choosing. Donors will receive a customizable, digital Certificate of Naming and can visit the Cockroach Naming Board at the Zoo’s Hamill Family Play Zoo, featuring names submitted by Feb. 5. Details are available now at brookfieldzoo.org/Cockroach.
