The Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) is the only organization that can provide a national sponsorship platform representing more than 200 accredited zoos and aquariums. Corporate partnerships with the AZA offer a unique opportunity to reach an attractive consumer market of over 150 million annual zoo and aquarium visitors.

To ensure a quality visitor experience, AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums meet rigorous standards for animal care, education, wildlife conservation and science.

"Typically, zoos have higher attendance numbers than most pro sports teams in markets because they are open every day," said William Chipps, senior editor of the IEG sponsorship report. "Drawing good crowds and obviously drawing families is a desirable target for marketers."
