World Giraffe Day

World Giraffe Day is celebrated annually in June. This day of awareness was created by the Giraffe Conservation Foundation to celebrate and educate the public about the tallest land animal in the world. World Giraffe Day coincides with the summer solstice, otherwise known as the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.

Discovery Kingdom Conservation Days highlight our park’s beloved animals and the conservation work supporting their wild counterparts. Each Conservation Day, we partner with a wildlife conservation group to raise awareness about their critical work. All proceeds from our Conservation Day events go to the partner organization.

Our Conservation Day events feature educational activities, animal appearances, animal care specialist talks, animal art, and prize drawings! All proceeds from our Conservation Day events benefit the partner organization that we are supporting on the day of the event.
