It’s a unique way to help Lincoln Park Zoo in its wildlife conservation efforts and a fun way to create a special bond at the zoo. You’ll learn more about your animal from the information and gifts you receive at home. And when you visit your animal at the zoo you’ll see the rewards of your efforts.

Inform your coworkers that you just ADOPTed a dwarf crocodile. Invite your friends to visit your howler monkey. Update your family on how your lion is growing.

An ADOPT an Animal sponsorship is an opportunity for your school or youth group to get involved and to help us feed the zoo’s animals. Inspire children age 5 to 12 to learn the importance of wildlife conservation and teamwork. Choose a favorite animal—one that symbolizes your school mascot or reflects your concern for a specific endangered animal—then, develop a creative way to raise money for your ADOPT an Animal donation.
