Upcoming Prices
If you’ve been to the zoo recently you know there are new animals and new animal habitats. If you have participated in a zoo education camp or class, you know how impactful these programs are. And if you’ve watched an animal being fed by a zookeeper you’ve experienced and learned about wild animals in a unique way. Miller Park Zoo is a special place, and our members are significant contributors to its success.
With the past year’s numerous improvements to zoo grounds, habitats, and animal wellbeing, we are pleased to be an integral part of the progress and improved member experience. Starting January 1, 2024, membership costs will experience a moderate increase to reflect the many improvements to the zoo, along with programs and events. Rest assured that the zoo will remain an affordable place for all to visit, as it has for over 130 years.
