support the zoo with a special adoption!
- 100% of your adoption donation will fund food and enrichment for animals at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.
- To show our gratitude, all adoptions come with a photo of the adopted animal, a personalized certificate, and a fact sheet.
- Donors of $100 or more are listed on our Adopt Donor Recognition page.
Symbolically adopting for a friend or loved one is the perfect gift for holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries. Make Adopt-an-Animal an annual tradition for your family!
Two baby elephants, double the holiday magic!
With a baby girl born in July and a baby boy born in October, the Columbus Zoo is filled with joy this season. Celebrate the holidays by symbolically adopting an elephant plush (or other adorable species)—a perfect gift that helps support the animals you love.
Now through December 2, 2025, each ADOPTion of $75 or more includes a Partners In Conservation holiday ornament and a Fast Pass to meet Santa during Wildlights.
Spread the cheer, make memories, and help make a difference for wildlife this holiday season!
