Tailored insurance for Zoos & Aquariums.
Insurance Built for Zoos and Aquariums
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.
