Adopt An Animal
With hundreds of animals that call your Great Plains Zoo home, it’s no surprise that our costs to care for these wonderful animals is high. In fact, each week your GPZoo spends over $5,000 just feeding our animals! Providing high-quality, professional care is our top priority and we need your help! Each of our animals comes with its own set of dietary restrictions, stimulation interests, habitat requirements, veterinary care needs, and so much more! Adopting one of your #GPZooAnimalCrew is a great way to support some of your favorite animals directly!
