Show your support for the wonderful animals and conservation programs at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium through the ADOPT Program. Each adoption benefits the Zoo’s animal enrichment program and longstanding conservation partners – all while deepening your connection to your Zoo.
All adopters receive a photo of the adopted animal, a personalized certificate and a fact sheet. When you become an adopter at the $100 level or more, your name will be added to our online Adopt Donor Recognition page.
Our animals are our family, so we always want the best for them. The Adopt Program is a unique and rewarding gesture that helps our Zoo provide the best food and care for our animals through the enrichment program. Your symbolic adoption creates a connection between you and your favorite Zoo animal, making you a contributor to that animal’s health and happiness.
The Columbus Zoo is known for its contributions to conservation around the globe. Our Spotlight Adopt packages give back to the Zoo’s conservation partners by celebrating species that many humans adore. These packages include a bonus gift.
