FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I have a question about the new Digital Membership card program.
Our Digital Membership information can be found here.

Do you have Membership gift certificates?
Yes, gift certificates are available for Memberships and can be purchased here.

May I bring a guest if the second adult listed on the card cannot attend?
All Memberships are non-transferable. Only the names listed on the card are admitted and photo ID is required. If you purchased a Membership with guest passes, you may use an available pass for an adult not on the Membership.

I purchased a Membership with guest passes, but did not receive them in the mail.
If you’ve purchased a Membership package that includes guest passes, your guest passes are digitally tracked within our system. We have discountinued the use of paper passes in our efforts to be more eco-friendly and for ease of use for our Members.

Can I buy or renew Memberships online?
Yes, you can do so here. Until your paper or digital card arrives, you can show your photo ID at the admissions window.

Can I purchase a Membership on the day of my visit?
Yes, Memberships can be purchased at the front entrance and will include your admission for that day.

What happens if I lose my card?
You can show your photo ID at the gate for admittance or apply for a duplicate card at the gate or by phone.

Is my Membership valid for one calendar year, or one year from the date of purchase?
Memberships are valid for one year from the date of purchase. Gift certificates are valid for one year from the date of redemption.

When I renew my membership, how do you determine the new expiration date?
Memberships automatically renew from the current expiration date. If your Membership has lapsed, the new expiration date will be one year from the new purchase date.

When will I receive my Membership card?
Please allow two weeks for delivery if you are receiving a paper card; digital cards will be sent weekly. If you have not received your card after two weeks from purchasing your Membership, please contact our Membership office at 412-365-2534.

How do I add a guest?
The Family Plus Membership level comes with 10 guest admission passes. If you only have the Family Membership, you may upgrade for $50 and receive the guest admission passes. Please note that guest admission passes are only valid at the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium and are valid for the length of your Membership.

Do you have a single parent Membership?
No, Memberships cover households. If only one adult resides in a household, only one is covered.

Can I purchase a Membership for my daycare?
No, Memberships cover households. Group rates are available for 15 or more people depending on your group type. Schools, daycares, scouts, and educational institutions can receive a special school discount on request; other group types can automatically receive a discount with our online ticketing system.  Learn more on our Groups page

Can my childcare provider use my Membership card to bring my child(ren)?
Yes, your childcare provider must have your membership card when they arrive with your child(ren). Your child(ren) will receive free admission with your Membership card, and the childcare provider can use a guest admission (if applicable) or pay regular admission.

Do Members receive a discount in the gift shop?
Yes, you will receive a 10% discount on gift shop purchases (calendars, batteries, film, sale and edible items, media, tram rides, wagon and stroller rentals, and medicine are excluded). TOMS shoes are not included with the membership discount.


Digital Membership Cards Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the Zoo switching to digital Membership cards?
It is part of the Zoo’s mission to be conservation minded. A digital Membership card can save thousands of pounds of paper a year, plus the emissions created by mailing printed cards to you. Thank you for helping us save valuable resources and help the environment.

How do I add the digital Membership card to my phone?
For iPhone users: access the email from your smartphone and click the “Download” button, then click “Add to Wallet” and “Add.” The card will automatically be saved in your iPhone’s Apple Wallet and can be accessed at any time. If you do not see the email, please check your spam and promotions folders.

For Android users: download Wallet Passes from Google Play. Once you have the app, access the email from your smartphone and click the “Download” button. The card will automatically be saved in your Wallet Passes app and can be accessed at any time. If you do not see the email, please check your spam and promotions folders.

There is another named Member on my Membership, how can they receive the card?
Navigate to the back of the card and use the share icon (box with arrow in top right corner – iPhone users) or “Share Pass” link (Android users) to send the card to the other individual(s) named on your membership. Please note that all members must have a photo ID upon entry.

I prefer not to/am unable to use a digital membership card, what can I do?
Members who do not wish to use a digital membership card or who do not have a smartphone are welcome to present a photo ID at the admissions gates upon entry.

Who can I contact with questions about Membership benefits or to update my information?
Please reach out to the Membership department at 412-365-2534 or membership@pittsburghzoo.org.

 

Pittsburghers: visiting another city with your Pittsburgh Zoo Membership

Your Membership to the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium includes a 50 percent discount on admission to the reciprocal zoos listed below and now you can also visit over 120 Nature Centers across the country too. Please note that participation in the reciprocal zoo program is voluntary and changes can occur. If you plan to visit one of these zoos, it is advised that you contact them to confirm that they will honor your Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium Membership discount. Other fees, such as parking or rides, are not discounted at reciprocal zoos.

Guests: visiting Pittsburgh from Another City

If you are visiting the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium from another area and have a membership to a different home zoo, the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium reciprocates 50 percent off admission for two adults and all children under 18 as named on the home zoo membership card. Guest privileges are not reciprocated. Discount applies to general Zoo admission but does not apply to special ticketed events. Photo ID is required. This list is subject to change at any time.
