We welcome guests with disabilities that choose to bring their trained service animal into the zoo. View our guidelines for services animals or pick up a copy at the Member & Visitor Services Office. A kennel is available for those who choose to leave their service animal during their stay on zoo grounds. Unfortunately, we cannot allow service dogs in training on zoo grounds and pets are not allowed inside the zoo.

• Smile! Your visit grants permission to be photographed for promotional purposes by the Sacramento Zoo.
• Non-commercial photography for personal use is allowed in public areas, but you must stay safely behind any barriers and remain in the public areas at all times.
• Commercial photography and filming requests must go through the Public Relations Department.

The Sacramento Zoo has partnered with KultureCity to improve our ability to assist and accommodate guests with sensory needs. Our objective is to provide an inclusive and seamless experience for all guests for all events including those with sensory needs. We strive to raise awareness of the needs and challenges faced by individuals with sensory processing disorders by supplying our team members with continuous training and by offering the resources and accommodations listed here to our guests.
