ADOPT ONE OF OUR ANIMALS AT THE ZOO

All adoptions are valid for one year and may be renewed annually.

 Each adopter’s name is posted on this page quarterly. Additionally, our Adopt an Animal board is updated once a year in the Fall, with all adopters’ names from the previous year. The board is located between the Safari Gift Shop and the carousel on Zoo grounds. All adoption packets include a personalized adoption certificate, acknowledgment letter, and magnet that will be mailed 2-3 weeks after the purchase date. Additional benefits. depending on the adoption level, include a fact sheet (view animals that have fact sheets included here), general admission tickets, and discount coupons!
