Discover how our animals tap into their artistic side!

Our animal care team has found a unique way to offer stimulating enrichment to animals—through painting! Using non-toxic paints and canvases, animals can create stunning pieces of art. 

From playful paw prints to expressive brush strokes, every creation is truly one of a kind. If you or someone you know adores animals and loves surprises, this is the perfect gift!

 

You can own a true original!

  • Each piece of art is unique, and our inventory changes frequently.  
  • You can purchase a keepsake art piece in our Columbus Zoo Marketplace located near the exit of the Zoo. 
  • Proceeds from the sale of animal artwork help support the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

Animal art availability and variety change throughout the year.  Visit the Zoo Marketplace during your next visit to see what's in stock!
