Included with Admission

Join the Little Rock Zoo this fall for our Beloved Pet Ofrenda, a heartfelt tribute honoring the memory of our cherished animal companions. Inspired by the Día de Muertos tradition, this vibrant community altar celebrates our animal companions of all kinds—furry, feathered, and scaled.

Bring a photo of your beloved pet and add to the altar anytime during Zoo hours. On Saturdays and Sundays, our Learning & Engagement team will be on hand to assist guests in co-creating the altar.

This is our second year hosting the Beloved Pet Ofrenda, inspired by a partnership between the L.A. Zoo and Plaza de La Raza, a community art school serving historically excluded groups. Their folklorist artist and local families co-created an altar celebrating this important cultural tradition. Now, we’re proud to bring this meaningful experience to Little Rock.
