Lofty Pops, a handcrafted ice pop company, is returning to the Toledo Zoo for the 2026 summer season, marking its second year at one of northwest Ohio’s premier family destinations.
Lofty Pops are chef-developed and handcrafted with real fruit and organic ingredients, free from artificial colors and flavors.

“Our goal is to modernize frozen concessions by delivering a product that reflects how families eat today,” said Natalie Heiter, co-founder and chief marketing officer of Lofty Pops. “We’re thrilled for a second summer at Toledo Zoo.”
Toledo Zoo guests can find Lofty Pops in Monarch Marketplace and at the Northern Ice Way Station.
