Adoptions

Did you know you can adopt a Lehigh Valley Zoo animal?

Visit www.shoplvzoo.com/adopt to view animals up for symbolic adoption.

All proceeds from the adopt purchases go directly toward animal education and conservation efforts at Lehigh Valley Zoo.

Every symbolic adoption comes with a photo of your adopted animal, a fact sheet about the animal, either an adult or two children zoo tickets, a stuffed animal and a personalized certificate of the adoption.

Current animals include the mongoose lemur, leopard tortoise, Mexican gray wolf, red kangaroo, Linnaeus’ sloth, Masai giraffe, American bison and African penguin.
