60-Second Stories

Two rhinos

Celebrate 60 Years of Blank Park Zoo 🎉

We’re celebrating 60 amazing years at Blank Park Zoo, and we want YOU to be part of the celebration.  We’re inviting guests, members, and friends to share their favorite Zoo memories through a 60-Second Story, photos, or written stories. Tell us what the Zoo means to you, and help us celebrate the moments that made the past 60 years unforgettable.

 

How to Participate

Record a 60 second video telling your story: 

  • Start by saying your name and where you’re from 
  • Share your favorite memory or what you love about Blank Park Zoo 
  • Vertical video is preferred (but horizontal is okay too!)
  • Videos can be selfie-style or standing in front of the camera

Now through May 1, 2026, we’re collecting stories and photos from our community. Your submission could be one of the memories we highlight during our 60th Diamond Jubilee year. While we hope to feature as many as possible, not all stories or photos will be shared. Submit your Zoo video, written story, and/or photos for a chance to be featured on social media, our website, and more.
