The Minot Park Foundation has successfully fulfilled its mission since 1994, providing to the stated population a zoo, ice arena, ball park, golf course, pool, trails, and family parks.

Our primary mission

Why should you support our cause

This project allows for a fun and interactive experience with visits from live animals to enhance life science and wildlife conservation education.

How the money will be spent
