FAQS

How do I reserve my tickets?

Before you can reserve your timed entry admission tickets you must have a login and password for the zoo’s website. Completing the process below in advance of reserving tickets will ensure a smooth process.

Step 1: Register for our website (if you have already registered for our website you can skip to step two).
Step 2: Check to make sure that your website registration is linked to your zoo membership.

Step 1: Register for our website: www.saczoo.org/register

1. To make sure your website registration links to your zoo membership, you need the following information as it appears on your membership card: your name, address, phone number, and email. (Note that each named member may create their own login with their own email address so that they may log in independently of one another.)
2. You will know that you have registered successfully when you receive a confirmation email

Step 2: Test your website registration: www.saczoo.org/membertest

1. You need to test your website registration to make sure that it links to your zoo membership and that your membership is active.
2. Make sure you are logged in to the website

It is not necessary to go through with this registration. It seems simple but if you are logged in and have the ability to add an attendee to this membership test then this really is the final step in the process.
