Important: Our system does not let ZIYN pass users reserve an arrival time online. We ask those that have a ZIYN pass to just walk up to the admission gate. Thank you!
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.
Learn where to find a pass from the list of Community Partners below.
