How does my Aquadopt help the Aquarium?
The Aquarium has over 16,000 hungry mouths to feed, so your support is always appreciated. We are committed to providing the best care for all of the animals and plants that live here. Your gift helps offset those high costs of veterinary and food bills. It also helps to continue our mission to stimulate interest in, develop knowledge about, and inspire stewardship of aquatic environments.
Plus, your contribution is tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law and the recipient receives a benefit that’s not only fun, but also educational.Group and corporate packages are also available.
*Due to the popularity of some species, one animal may have more than one adopted parent. Please remember, whether you choose an Aquadopt for yourself or as a gift, the adopted animal will remain in its healthy environment at the Aquarium.
