Information about the Volunteer Membership Fee

 

    The Volunteer Membership Fee helps the Zoo offset some of the costs of running our Volunteer Program. We greatly appreciate the time, energy and knowledge that Volunteers share with our guests. We also hope that Volunteers receive as much as or more from the program as they are putting into it. 

    Your Membership Fee includes:

    1. Your volunteer uniform shirt
    2. Your volunteer nametag
    3. Your background check
    4. Access to the following Volunteer Member Benefits:
      1. Free admission for you and 3 guests per visit (not during your volunteer shift; upon completion of 40 volunteer hours).
      2. Two free tickets to ZooLights and Starry Safari and reduced prices on additional tickets.
      3. Reduced prices on Zoo educational programs.
      4. 50% discount on concessions purchases.
      5. 20% discount on gift shop purchases.
