What is the AZA Reciprocal Admissions Program?
The AZA Reciprocal Admissions Program is a benefit offered by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) that allows members of participating zoos and aquariums to visit other facilities at a discounted rate or for free. With a single membership to an AZA-accredited institution, visitors gain access to over 150 other AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums across the United States. This program encourages exploration and education about wildlife and conservation efforts by providing affordable access to a wide variety of zoological and aquatic facilities. It’s a great way for families, individuals, and nature enthusiasts to experience different ecosystems, species, and educational programs while saving money on admission fees.
