Gift Memberships

Gift a whole year of fun. 

Memberships support the Zoo's efforts to promote conservation and education. It is the perfect way to benefit humans and animals, alike!  

How Gift Membership Works

Gift memberships may be purchased by phone, at the Zoo's front gate, or online.  You will receive a gift note card in the mail, to give to your recipient. Recipients redeem gift note cards at the Zoo's front gate to begin their new membership. Memberships are valid for 12 months following the date gift note is redeemed. Memberships are non-refundable and non-transferable.
