Reciprocal Zoos
Your Zoo Membership is a great value at home and when you travel! Use your Membership Card to receive discounted admission to more than 140 zoos throughout North America.
Show your Membership Card and a valid picture ID to receive the reduced admission rate when you visit participating zoos. Please note:
- Every zoo varies in how it will honor your membership, and zoos can change their admission policies at any time. Some zoos limit the number of family members admitted at the discounted rate. If you are planning to visit one of the zoos or aquariums listed below, please contact that facility in advance to verify their admission policy for members of the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo.
- Some zoos are closed for part of the year.
- Many zoos offer discounts on gift shop purchases, parking, or concessions. Be sure to ask.
- Carry your Fort Wayne Zoological Society Membership Card whenever you travel.
If you have additional questions, please call our Membership Coordinator at 260-427-6827.
