Expand Your Family Tree!
Would you like to be a monkey’s uncle? How about a sloth's sister or an anteater’s aunt? It’s simple. Just join our growing Zoo family by symbolically adopting an animal!
Who can adopt an animal?
You can adopt an animal for yourself, your family or friends, your classroom or scout troop, your co-worker or even your business! Animal adoptions make “wild” gifts! They’re unique, they’re fun and they make a real contribution towards the enrichment and preservation of endangered species.
What are the animal adoption funds used for?
Funds are used for exhibit renovations, special enrichment items and most importantly, to support conservation programs here at the Zoo and in the wild.
How will I receive my adoption kit?
Animal adoptions can either be shipped to you or picked up from the Zoo! Select your preferred method at check-out. Shipping is free.
Adoption boxes will be shipped out on Thursdays.
Pick up for boxes will be at the Zoo's Casino Building, Tuesday-Thursday from 10:00AM-3:30PM.
