FAQ

This is a members only Zoo preview and Egg Hunt. Guest can bring other adults that are not on the membership, but they will be charged regular zoo admission. We do ask that no extra kids come because of the limited supply of eggs and it is a MEMBERS ONLY EVENT. Also, the Premium membership packages have a free guest option that is ONLY VALID during regular business hours.
