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 highly encourage guests to purchase their tickets online in advance to reduce wait times at the admission gates. Mothers attending with their children do not need to purchase tickets – moms can accompany their pre-paid ticketed group to the gates.

Go green with your visit and consider taking a rideshare to and from the Zoo.

Due to expected high attendance and traffic, our gates will close 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.

Complimentary admission is limited to mothers accompanying their children (all ages, all generations) on Mother’s Day. Expectant mothers are not yet eligible for free admission under this promotion. We look forward to celebrating with you at next year’s Mother’s Day once your little one arrives!
