Become an annual zoo member!
Zoo memberships sustain the zoo’s operations for animals, staff and visiting public. Annual members enjoy many perks including entry year round during open zoo hours plus options for guests, grandparents, behind-the-scenes and updates on things happening at the zoo. We will also be having monthly member appreciation events in 2025!
