Zoo Passes
Zoo passes can be used at Boo at the Zoo and Wonderland of Lights events.
A limited number of zoo family passes will be provided to each community partner location. The passes can be “checked out” for a short time (one week) to visit the zoo with no admission or parking charge, then returned to the community partner location so another family can enjoy the zoo! Contact one of our community partners below to inquire about zoo pass availability. Not valid for education programs or adult only events.
Zoo passes cannot be used at other zoos and are only valid at Potter Park Zoo. If you would like to buy a zoo MEMBERSHIP please click here.

Visit our ZIYN Pass FAQ for more info on visiting the zoo with a zoo pass.
