Valentine’s at the Topeka Zoo
Celebrate Love, Laughter, and a Little Mischief This Valentine’s Weekend!
Bee Mine…or Bug Them Forever! Love is buzzing at the Topeka Zoo this Valentine’s season. From cockroach namings that’ll make someone laugh (or squirm) to bingo games packed with prizes and fun, there’s something for everyone — couples, singles, and families alike.
Forever Bugged: Name a Roach
Got Someone Who’s Been Bugging You? We’ve got the perfect Valentine!
This Valentine’s Day, skip the predictable gifts and name a cockroach at the Topeka Zoo for a $10 or more donation. It’s a playful way to celebrate love, laughter, and a little mischief—while supporting animal care and conservation.
Because nothing says “you’re unforgettable” quite like a roach named in your honor.
What You Receive:
- An official digital cockroach naming certificate (perfect for screenshots, framing, or petty group chats)
- Endless opportunities to say, “I named a cockroach after you!”
- A Valentine’s gift they will absolutely remember.
- The warm, fuzzy feeling of supporting animal care and conservation at the Topeka Zoo & Conservation Center.
