Adopt an Animal
Make a difference with Chessington World of Adventures & Zoo by adopting one of our animals. Animal adoption makes an unusual and exciting gift for friends and family.
The adoptee will receive a newsletter twice a year keeping them up to date with all of the new developments at Chessington Zoo, they will also receive a free ticket to visit their new friend to say hello during Chessington Zoo days.
The money raised by you adopting an animal will not only help us here at Chessington with the upkeep of our animals but will help fund conservation work and our vital breeding programmes within the zoo.
Your adoption for £40 will include:
- An adoption certificate
- A photo print of your chosen animal
- One free ticket to visit your chosen animal – Chessington Zoo days only
- A fact sheet on your chosen animal
- All in a keepsake presentation folder
- Your name on a plaque outside the enclosure
- Special adopter days for you to come and meet the Keepers who look after your adopted animal
To book call 0870 444 7777 or you can purchase during your next visit to Chessington World of Adventures & Zoo at the Xtra Adventures Sales Kiosk.
