TOP FAQ
If I forget to bring my membership card, can I still visit the Zoo for free?
Yes! If you do not have your digital membership card or a physical card, please check in at the membership booth for assistance.
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?
Upgrade your membership to the family deluxe level (which allows for three adult cardholders) and add your nanny or babysitter’s name to your membership. (Only named adults on memberships will be admitted.)
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.
