Membership FAQ:

When does my membership expire?

All memberships expire on the last day of the month of the following year. For example, if you bought a membership on March 8, 2021, it would not expire until March 31, 2022.

Do I still have to make a reservation to visit with my membership?

No, starting Saturday, May 1, members will not be required to make reservations. Members can access the Zoo any day at any time with the presentation of a valid member ID.

Can I renew my membership online, or do I have to do it in person?

You can renew your membership through our website (https://www.fortworthzoo.org/membership-renewal) or you can visit the Member Services office (located on the right-hand side of the entrance between the ticket booth and the turnstiles) in person.

Is my membership active from the date of purchase or when we get our membership cards?

Your membership is active immediately upon purchase, whether in-person or online.

Can a friend or family member use my membership card?

No, all members must have and use their own membership card. However, you can purchase an annual guest membership (which must be purchased with another adult, senior or child membership – it cannot be the only membership on the account), which can be used by an unlimited number of friends and family throughout the year.

What do I do if I lose my membership card?

On your next visit to the Zoo, stop by the Member Services office (located on the right-hand side of the entrance between the ticket booth and the turnstiles) to print a new membership card. Please note that there is a $10 replacement fee for new cards. If you’d like to access member benefits online but have lost your card and don’t know your member number, you can call the Member Services office at 817-759-7333.

Does my membership get me into other zoos?

The Fort Worth Zoo is a member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Reciprocity Program, which means you can receive half off admission at more than 100 zoos and aquariums across North America. Always pack your membership ID card when you travel, and be sure to check the list of participating institutions, as they’re subject to change.

*Because of the ongoing pandemic, institutions may have varying rules on whether or not they accept admission discounts.
