All ticket sales are final and may not be resold.
No exchanges or refunds for any reason, including inclement weather, excessive heat, or rain.
The zoo gates close 30 minutes after the last ticket entry time, and the zoo grounds close 90 minutes after the last ticket entry time. Entry is not permitted after the gates close. Today's hours and last entry times are listed at the top of this page.
Zoo events are separately ticketed; admission is not included with a daytime admission ticket. All visitors must exit the zoo at the daytime closing time even if they have a same-night ticket for a zoo event. Ticketholders may re-enter when the event opens to the public.
Most animals are not on view during ZooLights.
