Membership card(s) and privileges are not transferrable to other individuals. To prevent misuse of membership cards, and to protect the rights of our members should their cards be lost or stolen, we ask to see a photo I.D. from the listed cardholders at the time of your visit.

No, only the two named adults may use the membership cards. If you would like to bring a guest, you may upgrade to one of our premium levels or purchase an admission ticket or membership for that person. Non-resident guests without military I.D. can receive $4 off general admission when attending with a member.

The caregiver must be listed on the membership to gain access to the park with the children. If such is not the case, the caregiver will need to buy a day pass for themselves and any of the children above the age of two.

*A caregiver may not use the guest adult on a premium membership unless the adult card holder is present.

We do not have any reciprocal agreements with any other zoo or organization.

All members receive a 10% discount off food at our Kapahulu Market, regular priced merchandise at our gift shop, and some of our great education programs.
