Become a Member

The quickest and most convenient way to buy, renew, or gift a membership is right here on our website. You can also do this in-person at the Member & Guest Services window during your next zoo visit. 

Membership expiration dates can be found on your digital membership card, or you can look up the details of your membership here on our website. 

Permanent membership cards are available at the Member & Guest Services office after online purchases. The intended primary or secondary named adults must be physically present with their Photo ID when picking up membership cards. Digital membership cards are also available for download on Apple and Android phones. 

You can enjoy the benefits of your membership for 12 months after the date of purchase. Gift certificates may be redeemed within one year of purchase. Once activated, the membership is valid for one year from the date of activation.

Nope! Zoo members can skip the ticket lines and go directly to the main gate for admission.  

To use member benefits, a named adult on the membership must verify their identity at entry. You can do this by showing a valid photo ID  or by having a photo added to your membership. Members can add a photo by visiting the Guest & Member Services office, where a staff member can update the account. A named adult must be present to admit children and guests.

Zoo members are champions for wildlife— both at the zoo and in the wild. Your support helps to provide world-class care to our animals and funding for conservation efforts around the globe. 

With your contributions, we have invested in several conservation initiatives. These include (but are not limited to) constructing ranger stations in Nigeria, outfitting orangutan research teams in Borneo, and securing critical boreal toad habitats here in Utah.  

Yes! Utah’s Hogle Zoo participates in the AZA Reciprocity program, which offers free or discounted admission to over a hundred participating zoos and aquariums around the country. Our zoo members also receive 50% off admission to Tracy Aviary on Thursdays.  

There is a $5 replacement fee for re-printing lost membership cards. Hogle Zoo recognizes that sustainability is an important part of conservation. We are committed to minimizing our carbon footprint by making most of our operations eco-friendly. You can support our sustainability efforts by downloading a digital version of your membership card to your phone. You can read more about how to do this here. 

Memberships are non-refundable and non-transferable to another household once used. Even if you do not get a chance to visit us in person, your financial contribution still supports our conservation efforts both in Utah and around the world. 

Memberships are non-transferable. If there is an extenuating circumstance, please reach out to [email protected]

Memberships can only be used by the named adult members on your membership card. Named adults must be individuals living in a single household at the same physical address (with the exception of the Duo membership). Guests must always be accompanied by a named adult each visit. Sharing a membership will result in the membership being revoked.

The children listed on the membership must be the dependent children of the named adults in the household. Members are not allowed to bring children that do not live in their household. If grandchildren are listed, they must be the grandchildren (under the age of 18) of the named grandparents on the card.  

We do not offer memberships for groups, group homes, organizations, corporations, or for any large group or commercial use. If you use a membership for any of these purposes, the membership may revoked without warning and without a refund. 

Hogle Zoo reserves the right to revoke memberships at any time due to misuse of the membership benefits or abuse of Hogle Zoo’s animals or employees. 

The revocation of a membership will last at least one year, and specific details are determined on a case-by-case basis. 
There is no refund if a membership is revoked. 

Children 2 and under are free. The Duo level works for two adults and children 2 and under. Once the child/children turn 3, the pass will need to be upgraded/renewed at the family level.

If you have all the contact information for the future recipient and plan to give the membership to them immediately, you can certainly purchase the membership itself. However, if you don’t have all their household information or plan to wait to give the gift, we recommend purchasing the gift certificate because it lasts up to one year to redeem before becoming active

This change made be made once per year by reaching out to [email protected]. This change cannot be made during the renewal process.
