The Tautphaus Park Zoological Society (TPZS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the Idaho Falls Zoo by raising funds to support zoo programs; increasing public awareness, knowledge, and appreciation of the Zoo and wild animals.  This year we are bringing back one of our most popular fundraising initiatives - the Wild Child Program."

What is the Wild Child Program? Idaho Falls Zoo feeds and cares for over 300 animals each year. The Wild Child program allows you the opportunity to adopt animals for the period of one year, giving you the pride and satisfaction of knowing that you helped care for an animal in our zoo. Your contributions support improvements of the habitats and help the zoo to continue to grow and prosper.

Anyone can be a zoo parent…you, your family, your class, your civic group, even your company. Become an Idaho Falls Zoo parent today.
