In July 2021, Oakland Zoo's membership cards went digital! Switching to digital cards is a big step for conservation because it eliminates non-recyclable laminated paper cards and the accompanying letter.
Printed cards are no longer available.
Joining or renewing your Friends of the Wild gift? Visit this page to complete your donation and enjoy the most generous benefits the Zoo offers, including transferable admission benefits, event invitations and more.
Looking to upgrade from single day admissions tickets to a membership? Visit this page to submit your request to upgrade. Only tickets for the individuals that will be covered by your new membership benefits can be applied towards membership fees and your request to upgrade must be submitted within 7 days of your visit.
If you are a current member and would like to upgrade to a higher membership level, please email membership@oaklandzoo.org with the details of your request.
The Zoo is occasionally closed for holidays, private events, or maintenance or refurbishment. The Zoo may be forced to close in the event of inclement weather or any events that cause unsafe conditions for guests or staff. Visit our Hours & Pricing page for a list of planned closures. If you are visiting with individuals not covered by your member benefits, they will be required to purchase General Admission tickets in advance. Visit our Tickets page for more details and current policies.
Some of our members want to be able to bring an additional guest with them on each visit—here's our solution. Leave one of the adults on your membership unnamed and bring a guest with you on every visit. Please note that a separate guest card is not issued and that by leaving an adult unnamed, our staff will know that you have chosen the guest option. A named cardholder must be present for your guest to be able to enter the Zoo at no additional cost. This option is available for Dual, Family & Friends Plus, and Family & Friends Deluxe Memberships only.
Additional guest can be an adult or child.
If your nanny, caretaker, or another adult visits the Zoo and their name does not appear on the membership card, the entire party—including children—will be required to pay for admission. We suggest that you name the caretaker as the third person on a Family & Friends Plus or Family & Friends Deluxe Membership. Membership cards are not transferable.
Please visit our Member FAQ page. It includes the most common questions about policies, digital cards, and renewals.
