Love Your Zoo & Love Your Aquarium

25th - 29th May 2026

Love Your Zoo & Love Your Aquarium will be back for 2026 between 25-29 May.

Zoos and Aquariums provide us with so much more than meets the eye.

Love Your Zoo/Aquarium week is an annual nationwide event which coincides with May half-term where our members hold a range of activities to promote the important work they do in nature conservation, education, research and more.

Last year's theme was 'Allies for Wildlife' - the collaborations which underpin conservation, how zoos and aquariums support species together, and form incredible partnerships all over the world.

BIAZA zoos and aquariums will be running their own activities - each will be celebrating a little differently and may broadcast their activities on their social media.

2025's resources can still be downloaded below.
