"Adopt" a wild animal and help feed the Zoo!


Home to more than 1,200 animals that represent more than 500 species, the Fort Worth Zoo spends more than $850,000 a year feeding all of its wild residents. That's why we need your help! You can "adopt" one of the Zoo's animals to contribute to its care and feeding for one full year.


Simply select the adoption package that works best for you as an individual, classroom or group. Then, choose an animal from the adoption list.
