Take the stress out of your holiday shopping by choosing a gift that is perfect for anyone on your list — a symbolic adoption at Racine Zoo! By sharing your love with an A.D.O.P.T. gift, you give back in many ways. The A.D.O.P.T. program directly supports Racine Zoo's animal and veterinary care, as well as the Zoo’s innovative conservation and education programs. A.D.O.P.T.s are truly a great gift for anyone! A.D.O.P.T.s are a memorable gift that keeps on giving, as it supports the Zoo's work to create a better future for generations to come.
In honor of the newest member of the Zoo family, Fong the sun bear, we are having a special CyBEAR Monday sale on Nov. 27, 2023 starting at 8:30am! For one day only, save 10% on all levels of adoption PLUS get a FREE bear plush with your order!

#GivingZOOday, in partnership with #GivingTuesday, is about the impact zoos and aquariums have on their communities by engaging visitors to be stewards of the environment and saving species from extinction. It's also about how these institutions give back by mentoring their staff and volunteers to support a wide range of causes. This year, we would like to ask you to reach out your hearts and help the Racine Zoo make a difference. As a nonprofit, the price tag is steep for the special care our animals require. Help us maintain our "gold standard" in the zoological community and continue educating about and conserving wildlife and wild places. Our goal for #GivingZOOday is to raise much needed funds for the Zoo. Will you help us make this possible? Show your love and support through a donation. A gift of any size makes a difference.
