Animal ‘Adoption’ Program

There are many options for participating in the Animal Adoption Program, making this the perfect gift for your favorite animal lover.
How to Purchase: Visit in person to pick out your favorite animal, or go online.

Sometimes giving back is the best form of giving– make a donation to the museum in someone’s honor. It’s a great feeling to know that because of you, your favorite Museum and Nature Center can continue their good work. We will send an acknowledgment to your honoree. Click here to find out more.
