“A sincere thank you to Connections Credit Union for partnering with the City of Pocatello Parks and Recreation Department to bring the Zoo Connections Entrance and Gift Shop to Zoo Idaho for the community’s use and enjoyment,” said John Banks, City of Pocatello Parks and Recreation Director. “Partnership benefits include meaningful returns on investment including exposure of your business to thousands of residents and visitors in unique and positive settings.

Established in 1932, Zoo Idaho is an indigenous species zoo and is home to orphaned or injured animals from the region that would have likely not survived in the wild. For more information on Zoo Idaho, visit zooidaho.org.
