To book a group reservation please call and ask for group sales.

Our Group Sales Department phones can be busy at times, so you many need to leave a message. Teachers, please include a preferred callback time if needed, so we can try to connect.

Please allow at least 48 hours for a return call before trying again.

Food options are available inside our Savanna Café, or you can order boxed lunches through the zoo’s concessionaire Aramark in advance.

REFUNDS: We do not issue refunds. If members of your group are unable to attend, we will provide you with Zoo Passes for distribution. These passes are good for zoo admission during that calendar year. We apologize if this causes any inconvenience, but we must adhere to these policies.

CANCELLATIONS: If you must cancel your trip due to weather, call and we will try to reschedule your trip if there is availability. The Zoo is open rain or shine, so you are always welcome.
