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.

• 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.
