Your friends and family will be able to enjoy the Zoo free throughout the year, partake in unlimited rides, and receive discounts on retail and concessions.

We are overflowing with holiday spirit for our brand-new Adopt a Wild Child special! Now, you have the opportunity to symbolically adopt one of our exclusive holiday animals, such as the red panda, donkey, capybara, llama, hippo, or sea turtle. Your purchase plays a vital role in supporting the wellbeing of the nearly 10,000 animals under our care, including your selected companion. The $75 package includes a framed photo of your adopted animal, a huggable plush friend, a detailed animal fact sheet, and a personalized adoption certificate, creating the ultimate holiday gift!

Create a lasting memory by purchasing an animal plaque from the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium. These elegant plaques are placed permanently at the Zoo.

Your purchase supports the funding of our new aquarium and its animals.
