Amur Tiger
Share a special Valentine message with a wild touch for that “paw-some” person in your life! Virtual Valentines are a unique way to send a customized video greeting to a friend or loved one, featuring their favorite Zoo animal! Enjoy as one of our zookeepers delivers your personalized message alongside a sloth, tiger or other adorable animal.
It’s a perfect way to show someone special in your life how much you care!
Choose from one of the following animals to send your special message:
![]() Mouse Deer |
![]() Two-toed Sloth |
![]() Penguin |
In your video, you will have your featured animal joined by an animal care staff member who will share your message. The animal care staff will introduce themselves and the animal, share your message, and add a fun fact or two to complete the message.
Videos are usually about 30-seconds in length. It varies slightly with each request.
When you book, select the animal that you want featured in your video. Once you complete your purchase, you will need to also complete a form with all the information needed to fulfill your request. You can expect to receive the link to your video delivered on or before February 10.
We advise that you order your Virtual Valentine as soon as possible, as we have a limited amount of filming time available per animal. The last day to order is February 3 at 11:59 p.m.

The requested video will be delivered to the person who made the request, not the intended recipient. The person making the request will be responsible for sharing the video with their intended recipient. If you choose the anonymous delivery option, there is an additional $5 charge to have the video sent on Valentine’s Day. The link will be sent to you and the recipient separately February 14 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Central Standard Time.
The person who made the request will receive an email when the Virtual Valentine is ready. Included in the email will be a link to download your video through Google Drive.
No, you will be able to access the video file with the link that is provided without having a Google or Gmail account.
You will have 14 days to download and save a copy of your video. After 14 days, the video will be deleted from our cloud storage (Google Drive).
First, please check your spam or junk mail folders. Emails from the Zoo may show in these folders. If you still do not receive an email with your Virtual Valentine, please contact us at zoo.wildconnections@milwaukeecountywi.gov. Make sure to include your order number, the name of the person who requested the Valentine, and the email address associated with the purchase.
