Tips for MEMBERS

MEMBERS NO LONGER NEED TO BOOK TICKETS ONLINE

You spoke and we listened. Zoos Victoria Members no longer need to book their member ticket online. While we still have capacity limits, our wonderful and loyal Zoo Members will continue to have access to the three zoos every day of the year and only need to scan their membership card at the gate. Keep in mind, if you’re bringing along a visitor they will need to pre-book their general admission tickets online as usual.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR MEMBERS

We’ve updated the format of our member terms and conditions to make them easier to read. To view the full terms and conditions on our website
