Join the Family
With over 1,500 animals, lush botanical gardens and a growing number of special attractions, there’s always something new to see and do here at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens.  As a member, you’re free to explore and enjoy the Zoo as often as you’d like, all year long.  It’s a great way to save money and make memories.  Membership includes free admission as well as special invitations to exclusive members-only events throughout the year.

Membership isn’t just great for your family – it benefits the whole Zoo.  Memberships are an important source of funding for the Zoo – they help support the day-to-day demands of animal care, as well as our wildlife conservation, education and research efforts.  That makes you a partner in our conservation efforts around the world!
