With over 600 different species of animals at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, there’s a lot to see. As a member of the Cleveland Zoological Society, you have a full year to see them all! Members also receive discounts at Zoo gift shops and on event tickets, like Twilight at the Zoo and Boo at the Zoo, and get member-only pricing on Summer Day Camp and Rising Waters Overnight Camp. Even when the weather turns cold, members always have something to do at the Zoo. Come see our winter-loving animals in a whole new light, stop by the Zoo for December Days, or just thaw out for a few hours in The RainForest.

For an additional $20, expand your benefits with a specially designated card that enables you to send your children to the Zoo with a caregiver when you cannot come yourself. The babysitter simply presents your membership card for FREE admission. Please note: guest privileges do not extend to the babysitter, and the babysitter option is not valid if either named member is present.

To add the Babysitter Option, simply pick your family membership level and then select "Yes, please add the Baby-sitter option."
