2008 Reciprocal Admissions Program

Last updated: January 9, 2008

One of the benefits of becoming a member of your local zoo or aquarium is free admission to any of the other AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums that participate in the Reciprocal Admissions Program.

Make sure that you read the Reciprocal Admissions Program Rules of Operation before you plan a visit to any participating institution.

Some AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums are always free to the public. Here's a list of zoos and aquariums with free admission.
