The Florida Gulfarium has many opportunities for individual and businesses to support marine mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and more! The Gulfarium relies on contributions, admission fees and membership dues to meet its operating expenses, and does not receive ongoing governmental support. While admission fees and membership dues account for the largest portion of the Gulfariums' revenues, additional programs such as Adopt An Animal, and corporate and personal donations ensure that the Gulfarium keep smiling faces coming back!

Adopt An Animal

Florida’s Gulfarium is home to more than 200 marine mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and more. If you want to feel truly connected to the animals we protect and care for, consider our Adopt An Animal program.

Adoption has never been so easy! You select the animal you would like to sponsor from our list and choose a gift level. In return for your donation, we will send you or your gift recipient the sponsorship package that accompanies that particular gift level.

Adopt an Animal sponsorships make unique gifts.
Adopt An Animal also makes a great gift to celebrate birthdays and holidays and are a perfect choice for those who have everything. Plus the giver and the received get satisfaction knowing they are helping to provide the best possible care for all the Gulfarium's animals.
