Adopt an Animal

By symbolically adopting an animal with the NEW Zoo & Adventure Park, you’re not just helping with the care and feeding of that animal – you’re also supporting the NEW Zoo’s conservation and education programs! Every adoption is valid for a full year from the date of purchase. We ensure gifts are packaged with care for shipping and will even include your personalized gift message upon request.
