How do I become a member?
It’s easy! You can join online right now, or call 916-808-5888 to join over the phone. You can also become a member next time you visit the zoo. Visit the Member Entrance and sign up at the window!
Is membership a value for me?
The average family need only visit the Sacramento Zoo two to three times per year to cover the cost of a membership. In addition to being able to visit the zoo as often as desired, you no longer have the concern of staying for a certain time period to get your money’s worth. Drop by for a morning walk, a quick lunch, or an afternoon of play, and then bring everyone back for a weekend event.
Which membership type would be the best for me?
The Sacramento Zoo has a range of membership options designed to meet the needs of most of our visitors. Visit the Member Benefits page, email the Member & Visitor Services Office or call 916-808-5888 and we will be glad to help you.
What sort of specials or discounts does my membership include?
Visit the Membership Benefits page for a full list.
Does my membership allow admission to other zoos and aquariums?
The Sacramento Zoo currently reciprocates with over 150 zoos and aquariums throughout the United States and Canada. Our members usually receive 50 percent off admission to these zoos and aquariums with a Sacramento Zoo membership. See a full list of zoos and aquariums.
Is membership to Fairytale Town included with my Sacramento Zoo membership?
Membership to Fairytale Town is not included with any of our Sacramento Zoo memberships. Fairytale Town does offer its own memberships. Visit the Fairytale Town website for details.
Is my membership tax deductible?
Membership is tax deductible less the fair market value of items received, whether used or not. The fair market value of benefits received is not substantial for the Member PLUS Pack level and below. Please email the Member & Visitor Services Office or call 916-808-5888 if you have questions regarding the fair market value of benefits received at the Zoo Builder level and above.
Can I purchase a membership on the day I visit the zoo?
Yes! You can purchase your membership at the member entrance when you arrive at the zoo, or you can go to the Member & Visitor Services Office inside the zoo.
If I decide to join after my visit, can I apply the cost of my admission tickets towards my membership?
Yes, but you must present your receipt and there may be time restrictions. Please note that only those individuals covered by the level of membership you purchase will have their admissions applied to the cost of the membership.
Does the membership valid for a calendar year (January through December) or from the date of purchase?
All of our memberships are valid one year from the date of purchase; for example, if you purchase your membership on March 15, 2022, it will be valid until March 31, 2023.
