FAQs
Is there special parking for members at the Philadelphia Zoo?
Being a member of the Philadelphia Zoo has its benefits. Save money on parking as all members with proper ID receive free parking for one car. Parking for non-members is $16, and there is zoo parking along Girard Avenue or 34th Street.
Can a friend or family member use your membership card?
Unfortunately, only members and those listed on their family plan can use the membership for the Philadelphia Zoo. They are nontransferable, however, for family memberships, up to six grandchildren under the age of 18 may be included, and there may be a third adult added to membership for just an extra $35.
