Become an “Adoptive Parent” to your favorite Zoo animal with our symbolic adoption program! It’s easy, fun and most importantly, your adoption fee supports the Zoo’s animals, education programs, and conservation.

These adoptions also make great gifts. They are unique, different, meaningful and fun. Pick the occasion and pick the animal. Your gift will be much appreciated!

Packages

Anyone can become a Reid Park Zoo Adoptive Parent — individuals, families, school groups or classes, service organizations, businesses, or groups of employees.

Adoptions are typically mailed out in 4-6 business days to the “Gift Recipient Address.” Want to give your gift at a later date or in person? Put your address in the “Gift Recipient Address” field and we will send the adoption to you!
