Marlin Perkins Society Events

On this webpage, we’ve included our 2026 calendar of events that are exclusive to Marlin Perkins Society members – think of this as a digital save-the-date! You will continue to receive printed invitations and emails with comprehensive event information, but we wanted to proactively share these dates with you to plug into your calendar. We will also update this page throughout the year with the most pertinent event information, such as RSVP dates.

We hope to see you at these events throughout the year, and as always, thank you for your membership and support! If you have any questions, please email us at mps@stlzoo.org.
