By Request
Our programs are very popular, so we recommend that you email your request 2-3 weeks in advance of the date you would like to reserve. We cannot accommodate requests for bookings less than two weeks prior to the event.
Please note: Docent Tours are not available on weekends, holidays or during special events.
Please complete the Docent Tour Request Form and email it to our Operations Coordinator of Learning & Engagement at EducationReservations@oaklandzoo.org
Payment of tour fees are required at least 14-days prior to the reservation date. Admission and parking fees can be paid upon arrival for your tour. Zoo admission must be paid before the tour begins and your receipt must be shown to your Docent Guide.
Please note that once you register and pay your tour fee, we will not be able to provide refunds for cancelations.
For more information please call (510) 632-9525 x219 or email the Operations Coordinator of Learning & Engagement at EducationReservations@oaklandzoo.org.
