For nearly 200 years, generations of students and families have created special memories at the EcoTarium. Those memories have been made possible thanks to the careful planning and generosity of thousands of individuals through giving of their time as volunteers and financially through annual donations and bequests.

Your gift will help us serve in-need individuals and families throughout Massachusetts. Please consider making a gift to the EcoTarium today.

The Saturn Society was formed to recognize those individuals who have made, or intend to make, a planned gift to the EcoTarium. We invite you to join the Saturn Society and are happy to share information so you can better understand your bequest options and communicate your wishes back to the museum.

Pave the Way

Celebrate or honor your loved ones, friends, or business with a brick paver lining the way to Nature Explore, the interactive outdoor exhibit connecting visitors to nature through activities such as building, art, climbing, and music. Pavers are a thoughtful way to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and important milestones.
Place an Order

We cannot thank those of you who have already given enough for your support - it means the world to our staff, volunteers, board, and of course our animals. We are truly grateful for any and all support our community can provide so that we may continue to serve the region, inspiring all with a passion for science and nature, well into the future.
