dear FRIENDS This past year, we spent considerable time thinking about how our changing world impacts the work of the Minnesota

Zoo. Thankfully, because of generous support from the State of Minnesota and our members and donors, we were

able to focus on our vision and plans for taking the Zoo in new directions well into the future. At the same time, we

continued to deliver exceptional environmental education and wildlife conservation programs while providing our

guests with an outstanding guest experience.

I am pleased to report the State continued its strong investment in the Zoo. We completed the fiscal year with strong

financial results, and we are well positioned for the next biennium for which we received a 10 percent increase in our

general fund appropriation. We also received Legacy Amendment Funds for special programs and lottery funds for

the mussel conservation project-an exciting partnership with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to restore

native mussels to our rivers and streams to ensure a healthy ecosystem.

We want to acknowledge you and other Minnesotans who sent 85,800 emails to Governor Dayton and Minnesota

Legislators, thanking them for their support this year. Thank you! It is that kind of positive action that makes a

difference for our Zoo.

We also want to thank our generous donors. We ended the year with the second largest annual fund in our history,

raising $5,928,456. The Minnesota Zoo Foundation also launched a $3.8 million Wells Fargo Family Farm

Revitalization Campaign and received two lead gifts totaling $1 million. And, we celebrated the most successful

Beastly Ball in Zoo history.

Finally, our 2017 year-end results are strong because you visited our Zoo! This past year we attracted more than

1.35 million visitors, and we now boast more than 43,452 member households. While there are many reasons people

visited our Zoo this past year, the seasonal exhibit Kangaroo Crossing was a blockbuster, and no wonder. Guests were

invited into the exhibit without barriers on an Australian walkabout with kangaroos, wallabies, and emus.

Many visitors also participated in the new Backstage with Kangaroos program where they came face-to-face with

these bounding, long tailed animals and fed them breakfast, while others spent the night in tents overlooking the

exhibit on Family Overnights. lmmersive educational experiences like these inspire our guests to develop a lifelong

commitment to nature and wild animals - something we want all Minnesotans to enjoy.

That is why we launched Free to Explore, an initiative designed to attract ALL Minnesotans to the Minnesota Zoo

regardless of their financial circumstances. Since the inception of Free to Explore, the Zoo realized a 29 percent

increase in the numbers of guests who visited the Zoo free of charge simply by showing their public assistance cards­

from about 57,000 people in 2016 to nearly 83,000 guests in 2017.

Clearly, our achievements this past year demonstrate Minnesotans' interest in wild animals, which inspires us to

do more, do better in response to our changing world. To ensure our continued success, we approved a Revised

Strategic Plan that specifically addresses a number of critical changes in our world-from the many hours children

spend connected to technology to the changing views of zoos and aquariums.

We developed a multi-year plan through 2028 (the Zoo's 50th anniversary) that will revitalize the Zoo's assets and

exhibits and provide new immersive experiences and exhibits like Kangaroo Crossing. In addition, we began work on

a Nature Plan that will take advantage of our 485-acre site and create more opportunities for people to get out and

explore nature. We will ensure that the Minnesota Zoo is not only a place to see wild animals but also a Gateway to

Nature. Further, our Nature Plan will allow the Zoo to reach increased demographics, build new partnerships, and add

many new additional products to the Zoo's expansive campus, resulting in a more sustainable business model.

We are proud of our 2017 accomplishments and we thank you for making them possible. As we consider our future

and how we continue to respond to our changing world, we are as committed as ever to bring more people to the

Minnesota Zoo, and in partnership with them, fulfill our vision: A future where wildlife thrives in Minnesota and

beyond. Thank you for joining us!
