Thank You!

Your adoption makes a difference! Proceeds from the Adopt-an-Animal program help feed and care for the zoo's 1,500 animals. Our thanks to these generous supporters:

Adopt-An-Animal may be the program for you! Adopting an animal helps to provide the daily care and feeding your adopted animal needs to stay healthy. Individuals or groups can adopt an animal and visit it each time they visit the zoo. Click here for more details.
