Benefits of Having a Zoo Membership

We LOVE being members of the Memphis Zoo! As members, we can enjoy the zoo anytime and even parking is free. The membership pays for itself in about two visits (adults are normally $15, children $10 and parking is $5 I believe).

One great benefit to being a member is that you can take your time, and you don't have to rush around trying to make sure you see all of the exhibits. This past visit we went to Teton Trek, Northwest Passage, and the African Velte.

The little man is starting to really be aware of the animals, and it is so much fun to watch! This time was all about bears...he loved watching the brown bears splash and play in the water, and he was mesmerized by the polar bear swimming the same loop over and over!



Another benefit to not paying each time is that he and I can just run up there for a short outing before the morning nap or in between naps. As he gets older, it's not as easy to keep him busy at home!



He especially loves it when Daddy can join us!

In addition to these benefits, members get special pricing for zoo events and invites to members only nights four times a year.

I think we will be zoo members for life!
