As part of the Cincinnati Zoo’s 150th anniversary in 2025, we rolled out a PIN-credible Pin Trading program as a fun way to celebrate the milestone, engage with PIN-thusiasts and bring the Zoo’s rich history and its iconic elements to life.

PIN-tro to pin trading
New, limited-edition collectible pins will be available for purchase in the Zoo Shop and new ones will be released each month.
There will also be exclusive pins released each month that can not be purchased but can only be acquired by trading with a zoo employee or volunteer.
Pin Trading Guidelines
- Only Official Cincinnati Zoo pins may be traded.
- Guests can only trade one pin per staff member each time
- Pins should be in good, undamaged, tradable condition with the pin backing attached.
- When trading with a staff member, guests should offer a pin that is not currently displayed on the staff member’s lanyard.
