Advance tickets

While we do not offer tickets online, Zoo Passports may be purchased at the ticket booth and used for future zoo visits.  These make great gifts and do not expire.

Zoo passports must be given to ticket booth staff upon check in on day of visit when used for zoo admission. They are good for general admission only and cannot be used for admission to special events.
