Pins, Patches, and Buttons

[Imperator Furiosa]

I was wondering, does anyone else here collect pins, patches, or buttons from zoos? I decided to start this year since I want a souvenir to remember all the facilities I've been to (used to collect tickets and maps but I have a bad habit of misplacing them), plus I've been collecting them from conventions and other places I visit for a couple years so I figure why not.
What facilities do you have pins or patches from? Anyone open to pin swaps and trades?

Here are the three I have so far:

I'm glad Lincoln Park and Brookfield decided to focus on rare species for their pins rather than ABC crowd pleasers.

I have a large collection of badges, pins and patches about 1200 plus with some duplicates if you would like to trade?

I've started collecting pins for my bag, with a focus on cheetahs. I currently only have 2 zoo ones - Smithsonian, and then a vintage one I found on Etsy for Wildlife Safari. I've also added a Kakapo (World Parrot Trust) and a Saiga (Saiga Conservation Alliance). I always buy a magnet, though, and have one for every zoo/aquarium I've been to in the last decade, except for Denver Aquarium (I had to get back to the airport and the gift shop line was long )

I love to collect pins from all of the zoos I visit. I also have a lot of patches, T shirts and Shot glasses. Would love to see photos of your pins.

I also have been collecting patches from the zoo and aquarium visits. I am tending to see that the shop will phase them out and replace with fridge magnets. I will get a pin if the patch is no longer available, and have started with snow globes with the zoo logo and name.
