“PIC helps local Central African populations better their lives by attempting to eliminate poaching and deforestation that typically lead families to lives of poverty. “We actually have our own group, Partners in Conservation (PIC), founded here at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in 1991,” said Jones. It’s at the Mudiwa where most of the zoo’s most interesting international gifts can be found, all housed within an open-air market designed to replicate the humble wooden structures one might see in an African village. Two other shops, the Mermaid’s Purse and Mudiwa Village Gifts, specialize in aquatic-themed merchandise and eco-friendly jewelry, décor and art from African craftspeople, respectively. One of the biggest shops, the Zoo Marketplace, features a selection of gifts near the main entrance. Small toys, including stuffed snow leopards, at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. The Yukon Fossils and Gems Company gives guests the chance to pan for their own treasures along with a gift shop featuring items related to gems, crystals and fossils. Zookeeper shop is also open near the entry plaza with an assortment of apparel, plush and affordable novelty items geared toward kids. Guests are invited to check out the touch pool while shopping for gifts related to all things stingray and sea life-themed. One of the biggest shops, the Zoo Marketplace, features a selection of gifts near the main entrance, though it’s perhaps best known for its Jack Hanna Signature Collection, which is exclusive to the Columbus Zoo.Ī second gift shop, Stingray Bay Gifts, combines marine life with shopping. “We partner with a variety of suppliers around the world who provide us with quality items and share our goals of protecting wildlife through education and conservation,” Jones said. Lisa Jones, director of retail at the Columbus Zoo, said that these international efforts are reflected in the array of retail spaces on site. During the past few years the zoo has donated more than $3 million to important conservation programs in more than 30 countries worldwide. Today, the destination attracts more than two million visitors each year thanks to its 7,000-plus animals, 18-hole golf course and world-famous conservation program. The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium north of Columbus, Ohio, has come a long way since it first opened in 1927. They are particularly popular among guests to this popular tourist region. In addition to supporting international makers, Prosser also carries tiles that have been made from castings of animal’s footprints right at the zoo. “Art Studio has many different items that are handmade by the local artists in the countries that make them,” she said. Prosser buys these unique ornaments from Art Studio Company, a company that actually works with craftspeople in India directly. The destination attracts more than 2 million visitors each year.
