Not only will you have lots of fun, but you will also learn a lot about the world's diverse wildlife and natural habitats. Most memberships also give you and your family free admission to the zoo or aquarium for a year, as well as free admission to over 100 other AZA member zoos and aquariums all around the country. Zoos and aquariums invite you to join them for all sorts of interesting and exciting activities.
Many institutions celebrate holidays and different times of the year with special events.
For example, April is Zoo and Aquarium Month and many zoos and aquariums are hosting events such as docent led bike rides through the zoo and new exhibit openings. As warmer weather comes our way, look for refreshing summer events, from twilight tours to fun picnics. The calendar of events at zoos and aquariums are always bursting with events at any time of the year. Plan the timing of your visit. Instead of suffering through the hottest part of the day, visit the zoo when its cooler.
