Why A.D.O.P.T.?

The A.D.O.P.T. program is a great way to show your support for wildlife conservation. By adopting your favorite animal, you contribute to the feeding and care of the animals for one full year and help support Lincoln Park Zoo's national and international conservation efforts.

Lincoln Park Zoo is involved in cooperative breeding programs for endangered species and other conservation projects--all of which need the support of concerned people like you to continue to be successful.

Finally, adopting an animal is fun not only for you, but for friends and family, too. An adoption makes a great gift for birthdays, anniversaries and holidays and is always unique.
Show you care about wildlife and conservation. Adopt an animal at Lincoln Park Zoo.

How do I A.D.O.P.T. an animal?

1. Pick your favorite animal from the list of animals at the zoo.
2. Choose a level of support.
3. Stop by any Zoo Shop, the Gateway Pavilion, or the Kovler Lion House Information Center for an adoption form. Or call (312) 742-2000 to charge your A.D.O.P.T.

If you adopt an endangered or threatened species you get a special bonus-- a wallet-size photo of your A.D.O.P.T. animal.
