Celebrate America with a Special ADOPT Offer
As the nation celebrates the Fourth of July and begins commemorating America's 250th anniversary, there's no better time to honor some of North America's most iconic wildlife. The bald eagle has long stood as a symbol of the United States, representing strength, resilience, and freedom. River otters remind us of the wild rivers, lakes, and waterways that help shape the landscapes we call home. Together, they tell a uniquely North American conservation story.
Every ADOPT package helps support the care of animals at the Columbus Zoo while connecting you to wildlife that inspires curiosity, appreciation, and action.
- Adopt a Bald Eagle: $50
- Adopt a River Otter: $50
- Adopt Both Animals: $75
