Reciprocal Zoos

One of the benefits of becoming a member of Nashville Zoo is free or discounted admission to other zoos and aquariums with which we share a reciprocal agreement.

Nashville Zoo Members Visiting Other Facilities

• It is always a good idea to call ahead BEFORE you visit to confirm participation and any restrictions.
• The Program covers admission (free or discounted) to the main facility on normal operating days and hours and may exclude exhibits or events requiring an additional fee. Other benefits such as parking, discounts and member events are normally NOT included.
• Facilities without an admission fee MAY opt to offer an in-park discount instead. Check with them directly.
• Remember to take proof of your Nashville Zoo membership and ID with you.
• Each facility determines its own policies, the number of persons admitted/discounted is not necessarily equal to the persons listed on your membership card (typically two adults/two children).
• Not all AZA institutions participate in the Reciprocal Admissions Program.
• Participating AZA institutions located in close geographic proximity to each other are not required to offer free admission to each other's members in order to participate in this program.
