AZA Reciprocal Admissions Program – Association of Zoos & Aquariums

The Association of Zoos and Aquariums Reciprocal Admissions Program allows you to become a member of your local AZA-Accredited Zoo or Aquarium, and then when you travel, you can save money with free or discounted admission at other AZA-Accredited locations!

If the Zoo or Aquarium you are a member of participates at the 50% level, you can expect to save 50% at other member locations.

If your Zoo or Aquarium participates at the 100% level, you may receive up to 100% off the admission price for other 100% level locations, and you will save 50% off admission at the 50% level locations.

Make sure you click the AZA Links below for their official rules and explanations!

Step 1: Check out our list below for informational purposes! Click on the Attraction Name for more details about the Zoo or Aquarium, or click on the City / State to find other AWESOME family-friendly activities in that area!
