Membership

Reciprocal Zoos

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

  • During the year, there may be changes to this list. While we make every attempt to post updates as soon as possible, it is always a good idea to call ahead BEFORE you visit.
  • The Program covers admission to the main facility on normal operating days and hours and may exclude exhibits or events requiring an additional fee.
  • Remember to bring proof of your zoo or aquarium membership with you.
  • The number of visitors admitted with a family membership may vary depending on the zoo or aquarium.
  • 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.
  • To visiting members of a reciprocal facility listed below, Nashville Zoo offers either free admission for up to two adults and two children OR the alternate $$ or % admission discount indicated.

Participating institutions are listed below in alphabetical order by state.
