Animal Adoption packs for schools or groups

Teaching your class about a certain animal or visited the zoo recently and your group fell in love with one of our animals? Whatever the reason, adopting an animal on behalf of your class/group takes learning to a really wild level.

Thug - Pygmy Hippo
As much as we love our online adoption scheme, we understand that it may not meet the needs of a class or other groups so we have developed a special adoption pack just for you.

Adoption packs for schools/groups are available for all of the animals on our online scheme. These can be viewed in the order form below.

An adoption pack is £32 for one year and includes:

  • Welcome letter
  • Personalised colour certificate (made out to the class / group – printed out up to 30 times if required)
  • Educational and fun facts about your animal and one colour photograph – can be proudly displayed where everyone can see it
  • Subscription to quarterly Wild About magazine - sent to the purchaser (latest copy is included in pack)
  • The opportunity to subscribe to email updates to help you keep track of what your animal has been up to

Please note: If adopter (or other nominated person) does not subscribe to email updates, we will not be able to notify them if the animal moves to another zoo or sadly passes away.
