Adopt an animal today and you’ll be helping to fund the work we do to protect important habitats and the wildlife that relies on them.
An adoption is an amazing and unique gift for the animal lovers in your life! We have options available for both children and adults. Let’s work together to ensure our planet can continue to thrive.
Choose from a wide range of species, from penguins to orangutans, to giraffes and rhinos.
Please note: we’re unable to post adoption packs outside of the UK.

We have SO many loved species at the zoo!
If the animal you wish to adopt is NOT listed above, we also have a NEW Supporter Adoption package! This allows you to adopt ANY species from our collection for only £20. For this, you’ll receive a welcome letter, certificate and photo of the species you have chosen.
If this sounds like the perfect adoption package for you, please get in touch with us by calling 01244 650 204, emailing membership@chesterzoo.org or popping in to see us at Membership HQ.
Make your support go further!
Not sure which animal to adopt? A membership at Chester Zoo means the proceeds from your donation are not restricted to particular conservation projects, so you can be sure your contribution is going to where the funding is most needed. Plus it comes with lots of benefits!
Memberships also make a great gift for wildlife enthusiasts.
