Conservation Starts with a Gift: Explore our Holiday Offers

Published October 31, 2025

This holiday season, the Johnny Morris Conservation Foundation invites you to celebrate the spirit of giving and the beauty of the natural world through a series of special offers at Johnny Morris’ Wonders of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium, Dogwood Canyon Nature Park, and Top of the Rock Ozarks Heritage Preserve. These experiences and offers are more than just gifts — they’re opportunities to connect with nature, inspire conservation, and create lasting memories with the people you love.  

New this year, Wonders of Wildlife is lighting up the season with Sea of Lights Enchanted Christmas, running from November 1st through January 31st. Dive into a dazzling holiday journey filled with brilliant lights, festive sounds, and interactive multimedia projections that transform the entire aquarium into a glowing conservation wonderland. Entry is included with general admission and memberships, making it the perfect addition to your holiday visit.  

If you’re not a member at Wonders of Wildlife already, our Holiday Membership bundle might be the perfect combination experience! For just $325 you can get: 

• 4 individual Wonders of Wildlife or Dogwood Canyon memberships 

• 4 single-day general admission tickets to the same property as the memberships 

• 1 plush toy to commemorate the year of adventure ahead 

If WOW isn’t the best choice for your family, this same package is available at Dogwood Canyon! 

Memberships must include at least one adult and are valid for one year from the date of purchase. This offer is available on-site and online from November 1st through December 31st.  

Coming from out of state? Want a chance to explore each property before purchasing a membership? For those looking to make the most of Black Friday, a special bundle is available for just $175. It includes: 

• 4 single-day admission tickets to Wonders of Wildlife 

• 4 single-day admission tickets to Dogwood Canyon 

This offer is available only on November 28th, starting at midnight, both in-store and online. It’s a perfect way to plan future adventures while saving up to $100.  

Cyber Monday brings another opportunity to support conservation and enjoy a year’s worth of benefits with a membership. On December 1st, adult memberships for Wonders of Wildlife and Dogwood Canyon will be available at child prices for just $60. This online-only offer begins at midnight and is valid for one day only. 

 It’s a great chance to join a community dedicated to protecting wildlife. Membership proceeds go directly towards conservation initiatives, such as the Sea Turtle Center at Wonders of Wildlife – the only rehabilitation center in the Midwest – or preserving thousands of acres of land for wildlife at Dogwood Canyon! 

In addition to these offers, Top of the Rock is hosting a limited-time event that brings the magic of the Ozarks to life after dark. Nature at Night on the Lost Canyon Cave and Nature Trail runs from November 2nd through the end of the year. Guests can drive their own golf cart along a 2.5-mile trail illuminated with dazzling lights, waterfalls, bridge crossings, and a spectacular cave featuring the one-of-a-kind Bat Bar. This immersive experience is designed to inspire awe and deepen appreciation for the natural world.  

Whether you’re gifting a membership, planning a visit, or exploring the Ozarks under the stars, these holiday offerings are a meaningful way to celebrate the season and support the conservation mission of the Johnny Morris Conservation Foundation.
