Admission Policy for School & Camp Groups

Plan your visit in advance!
We recommend that you make your reservation at least a month in advance. Pre-payment of ticket packages ensures quicker entry into the park.

PAYMENT PROCEDURE

  • Payment is expected prior to your visit. Mail full payment 2–3 weeks in advance of your visit. Once payment is received, your ticket package will be mailed to you.
  • Purchase orders do not qualify as payment.
  • All fees are expected to be paid in advance of your visit; however, if you are unable to provide prior payment, you must have the total payment with you upon arrival at the Zoo. In addition, please be sure you know which visit package you are purchasing, and be able to provide an accurate count of adults, children, and seniors in your group.

**Please note: From April – October bus parking is complimentary but on a first come, first serve basis with the purchase of the Total Experience Ticket.
