Children in costume get free admission! Admission for adult members is $3/person and for non-members is $5.
NOT A MEMBER? Now is the perfect time to join! They have this amazing offer on Groupon right now for NEW members only (not for people needing to renew). The membership also covers the cost of parking at Micke Grove Park (which costs $5 entry each time).
$49 for an Introductory Membership to the Micke Grove Zoological Society ($100 Value)
As it begins to cool down for fall and winter, there is no better time to visit the zoo! The zoo animals are usually more active when it is cooler outside, so you'll enjoy your membership all year round.
With a membership you will also receive discounts on educational programs and activities at the zoo:
Zoo Tots is a weekly program for 2-5 year olds that runs on Mondays from 10-11am. Your toddler will love going on this WILD adventure, learning through doing. This program is all about touching, feeling, moving and exploring. Tots are engaged through a variety of hands-on activities such as art projects, games, crafts, stories, and live animal encounters! Cost is $10/pair (members) and $12/pair (non-members). The upcoming Zoo Tots themes are: "Going Batty" (10/19), "Black & Orange" (10/26), and "No Bones - Learning about Invertebrates" (11/2). You can register for these events HERE.
Toys for Critters run every other Sunday for ages 4 & up. Bring your family to make toys and treats for our animals! Enrichments are items that help keep our zoo animal ambassadors happy, health and engaged. You will get to meet some of the education animals up close and with the help of our education and zoo staff, create something special for the animals and watch your work be appreciated by the critters! If you are interested in signing up for this program, contact the education department directly at (209) 331-2138.
There is so much to enjoy with a Micke Grove Zoo membership! There is even a reciprocal program that gets you FREE admission to many other zoos including the Folsom Zoo and Happy Hollow Park & Zoo in San Jose.
We hope to see you out at HalloWILD this coming weekend! Check out our Facebook page for a FREE ticket giveaway for this AMAZING event!
