Year-round adventure awaits with a membership to the Fort Worth Zoo.
The award-winning zoo offers a year-long membership brimming with benefits that more than pays for itself in just four visits. From unlimited admission to exclusive savings, members can explore the Zoo’s expansive grounds at their own pace, returning again and again without worrying about daily ticket costs.
Plan a fun outing with friends and save $3 on guest tickets, making group activities easier on the wallet. Families especially love the savings on children’s activities, from discounted Summer Zoo Camp registration to $1 off carousel rides, giraffe feedings, and train tickets.
One standout perk is free parking — a savings of $5 per visit. Plus, members receive half-off admission at 100+ zoos and aquariums across North America, opening the door to exciting wildlife experiences nationwide.
Membership also grants early access to tickets for the Zoo’s most popular events, ensuring members never miss out. Additionally, members receive a 10% discount on merchandise and most dining options, enjoying more of the Zoo for less.
Best of all, membership supports the Fort Worth Zoo’s commitment to wildlife conservation. Initiatives like the Texas horned lizard program help bolster threatened species, and members play an essential role in funding these efforts. Thanks to members, thousands of these lizards have already been released into the wild.
For anyone seeking endless opportunities to discover new wildlife and support crucial conservation work, a membership to the Fort Worth Zoo stands out as a smart, family-friendly investment that keeps the fun — and savings — rolling in all year long.
