Adopt An Animal

Become a “Parent” to Your Favorite Zoo Animal. It’s easy, fun and, most importantly, your “adoption” fee supports the Zoo. Anyone can become a Reid Park Zoo Parent—individuals, families, school groups or classes, service organizations, businesses, or groups of employees.

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