ADOPT A BONE

Each of the bones that make up the Orca and Gray Whale skeletons are available for adoption by individuals, families, or groups. Adopt in your own name, or for someone you would like to honor. The names of those who adopt or who are honored are displayed on a panel in the Charleston Marine Life Center. Funds go to support CMLC exhibits and programs and are much appreciated.

Check the bone list to view adoption rates then inquire below to confirm that the bone you want to adopt is available. Once bone availability has been confirmed, we will contact you regarding payment options.
