Animal Adoptions

Adopting one of our animals is a brilliant way to support our work at the zoo – not least by helping us cover our £200,000 feeding bill every year!

But it does even more than that: it helps fund our expert conservation work in the UK and worldwide.

It costs from just £50 to adopt your favourite animal, and straight away we’ll give you two free tickets for a day at the zoo.

There are two packs to choose from, the Animal Adoption Pack (£55), or the Animal Adoption Toy Pack (£50), each with different contents.
