Adopt an Animal

Symbolic Animal Adoption

At The Florida Aquarium, it is our privilege to provide a home to a large variety of animal ambassadors. From the smallest reptile to the largest elasmobranch, the wellbeing of our animals is our highest priority. Help us provide world-class animal care by symbolically adopting an animal today! Your support will fund restaurant-quality food, preventative and diagnostic veterinary care, water quality, habitat maintenance, enrichment and more! By symbolically adopting an animal, you are helping to ensure the welfare of the thousands of animals in our care and supporting programs that save imperiled and endangered species.

Adoption packages start at $35 and make great gifts for holidays, birthdays or any special occasion! Choose your adoption level and an animal to support via the link below. Domestic shipping only, please.
