Tile Program

Join the community wall of names and carve your memories into stone!

This Encounter Africa tile program is now sold out. We are working on a new tile program we hope to launch before the end of this year. Stay tuned!

For only $150, you can personalize a slate tile set along the outside wall at the entrance of the Wilgruen Elephant Center (African elephant and rhino barn) in Encounter Africa. Funds raised through this program directly support the Zoo.
