Adopt a Conservation Carousel Animal

The zoo’s Conservation Carousel features 48 one-of-a-kind, hand-carved wooden animals representing rare and endangered species from around the world. These carousel animals are hand-painted and finished with eight coats of clear enamel, ensuring the color and detail will last for generations. Adoption of an animal is for the life of the structure and includes a personalized plaque that hangs above the animal. Carousel animal adoptions are available for a charitable donation of $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, or $25,000; your gift supports the zoo’s mission of wildlife conservation and education.
