Animal Adoptions

Chimp Mother Baby

Adopt your favourite animal from just £50 and enjoy a fabulous day out for two at Chester Zoo.

There are two animal adoptions to choose from, the Animal Adoption Pack and the Animal Adoption Gift Pack.

By adopting an animal at Chester Zoo you are not only contributing towards our massive animal food bill but you are also helping fund our conservation work in the UK and around the world - which is good news for animals everywhere.
