Animal Parent

You can’t take them home, but you can adopt one of Mystic Aquarium's wonderful marine animals. As an Animal Parent, you help us feed, protect and provide enrichment for the animals here at the Aquarium. Adoption kits include a personalized certificate, photo and fact sheet, and other fun stuff. Animal Parent kits make great gifts!

Some of our most popular species are available for adoption: Clownfish, Green sea turtle, Steller sea lions, California sea lions, African penguins or the Beluga whales.

Decide which adoption level is right for you, make the appropriate donation and be a proud animal parent for a year. Remember, the most important benefit is knowing that you have given the much needed funding to provide care, food, enrichment, and so much more to the animals of the Aquarium. Animal Parent kits also make great gifts! As you plan your gift, please keep in mind that due to the personalization of each kit, we need five business days to process, plus USPS mailing time. If you have questions, or are in a hurry, please call our Animal Parent Program at 860-572-5955 ext. 561.

Please note:  Because Mystic Aquarium is a living museum, the list of animals available for adoption is subject to change, and every species may not be on exhibit at all times.
