We can’t wait to show you the zoo during fall! Fall is a great time to visit the zoo as some of the cold-hardy animals (like camels and snow leopards) become more active in the cooler temperatures.
You have two more days to enjoy the beautiful Halloween lights during a relaxing evening at the zoo without the trick-or-treat booths or other Boo at the Zoo activities. Join us for Zoo Lights on October 24 & 25 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Tickets are available at the gate during the event for only $7 for adults, $4.50 for kids 3-12, and $0.50 for ages 2 and under. Zoo memberships and guest passes ARE valid during Zoo Lights.
Then, from October 29 through November 27, weather permitting, your zoo will be open on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
We’re offering a discounted admission rate for fall. Visit the zoo for only $7 for adults (13-61), $5.50 for seniors (62+), $4.50 for kids (3-12), and only $0.50 for ages 2 and under. Memberships and guest tickets are also welcome during this time. Plus, be sure to stop by the gift shop for some fun and unique holiday gift ideas!
You may be surprised to know all the zoo animals stay right in your zoo during the colder months. So be aware that as the temperatures decrease, the tropical birds and reptiles will move to their warm and cozy winter quarters inside the zoo for their health and wellbeing and will not be available for public viewing.
