Membership

Reciprocal Zoos

One of the benefits of becoming a member of Nashville Zoo is free or discounted admission to other zoos and aquariums with which we share a reciprocal agreement with Nashville Zoo.

  • While we make every attempt to post updates as soon as possible, it is always a good idea to call ahead BEFORE you visit to confirm participation and any restrictions. .
  • The Program covers admission to the main facility on normal operating days and hours and may exclude exhibits or events requiring an additional fee. Other benefits such as parking, discounts and member events are normally NOT included.
  • • Facilities without an admission fee MAY opt to offer an in-park discount instead. Check with them directly.
  • Remember to bring proof of your zoo or aquarium membership with you.
  • The number of visitors admitted may vary depending on the zoo or aquarium.
  • Not all AZA institutions participate in the Reciprocal Admissions Program.
  • Participating AZA institutions located in close geographic proximity to each other are not required to offer free admission to each other's members in order to participate in this program.
  • To visiting members of a reciprocal facility listed below, Nashville Zoo offers either free admission for up to two adults and two children OR the alternate $$ or % admission discount indicated.
