Zoo admission is FREE
Since a large number of our animals are housed inside during the winter months for their well-being and can’t be seen by guests, zoo admission is free. Please feel free to visit the Zoo and the Education Building and enjoy those animals that are still on view to the public. Admission will resume April 6th, 2026.
