Tailored insurance for Zoos & Aquariums.

Insurance Built for Zoos and Aquariums

Home » Zoo and Aquarium Insurance

Protect animal life, safeguard your guests, and advance your mission — supported by an insurance partner who understands zoo and aquarium operations.

Empowering You to protect wildlife and educate communities with confidence.

The Challenge Zoo & Aquarium Leaders Face

Zoos and aquariums operate in uniquely complex and highly visible environments:

  • Animal-related liability and safety risk
  • High levels of public interaction and scrutiny
  • Specialized habitats, enclosures, and life-support systems
  • Aging facilities and regulatory oversight
  • Insurance markets that often misunderstand animal risk

Generic attraction or nonprofit insurance often leaves critical gaps.

The Granite Difference

Granite Insurance is a specialty-focused agency built on one purpose: Empowering You.

For zoos and aquariums, that means:

  • Advisors who understand animal liability and public exposure
  • Insurance programs designed around real operational risk
  • A consultative, education-driven approach with claims advocacy

We don’t just place insurance — we help protect your animals, people, and reputation.

How Our Process Works
  1. Connect: Talk with an advisor who understands zoo and aquarium operations.
  2. Customize: Receive a tailored insurance program built around animals, facilities, and public interaction.
  3. Confidently Operate: Focus on conservation and education while we manage risk and coverage.
