TOP FAQ
If I forget to bring my membership card, can I still visit the Zoo for free?
Yes! When you arrive, present your valid photo ID at the membership window, where staff will verify your membership.
Can I send my children to the Zoo with their grandparents?
Membership cards are non-transferable, so you would need to buy a membership that allows you to add an extra cardholder (Family Deluxe or higher) or give the grandparents your one-time use guest passes. Your children are always covered under your Family membership, so your membership card will cover free admission for them.
How can I add a nanny or babysitter to my membership?
Family level members who wish to add a nanny or babysitter to their membership have three options:
- Upgrade your membership to the Family Deluxe level (which allows for three adult cardholders) and add your nanny or babysitter’s name to your record.
- Substitute the nanny or babysitter’s name for one of the adult cardholders on the Family level membership ($20 fee and you must return the original membership card). Only one name change per year. Restrictions apply.
- Give your guest passes to your nanny or babysitter to use for one-time entrance.
How can I replace a lost/stolen membership card?
To replace a lost or stolen card, please call Member Services at (323) 644-4747, email membership@zoo.lacity.org, or visit the membership booth on site. You may visit the Zoo in the meantime by presenting your valid photo ID at the Membership Booth when you arrive at the Zoo.
