Thanks, Mom! Enjoy a day at the Zoo with the whole family; mothers of all generations receive free entry when accompanied by their children.

As one of our most popular days of the year, please expect high crowds as families celebrate at the Zoo.

We encourage guests to purchase their tickets online in advance to reduce wait times at the admission gates.

Due to expected high attendance and traffic, our parking lot will close at 3:30 pm. with gates closing early at 4 p.m. to allow admitted guests ample time to enter and experience the park. Zoo grounds will remain open through 5:30 p.m. as usual.

The tram will not operate on Mother’s Day.

Please be aware of the Allegheny River Boulevard closure this weekend. This may impact your journey to the Zoo.
