MEMBERSHIP UPDATE

 

We are transitioning to digital membership cards!

Sustainability is a critical part of the zoo's mission and part of that effort is to reduce plastic waste and our carbon footprint. Upon purchase or renewal, you will receive a confirmation email to the primary email address on your record with your digital membership cards. Named adult(s) on the membership can save these digital cards to their Apple Wallet and Google Wallet.

If you already have a physical membership card, you can still use it to enter the zoo as long as your membership is active and at the same level! Upon renewal, visit either entrance to get new expiration date sticker(s)—thank you for extending the life of your plastic cards as we transition to digital membership cards!

Online Accounts are automatically created for current members, and for new members when you join. To access your account, you will need to use the primary email address associated with the membership and the membership ID number (located in your confirmation email and on the back of physical membership cards). Once you're logged in, you can renew your membership; current members can also purchase discounted WildLanterns tickets (discount applied at checkout).

As of October 3, 2022, we only print physical cards upon request. If you require a physical membership card, please contact the membership office at membership@zoo.org or 206.548.2425.

All membership purchases are final, and membership cards and associated privileges are non-transferable. Refunds will not be issued for any reason. Memberships start at time of purchase. Your expiration date will be a year from the purchase date, or if you are renewing early, a year will be added to your current expiration date. For the enjoyment of all guests, Woodland Park Zoo may refuse admission, control occupancy, or expel any person whose conduct endangers or disrupts patrons, animals or others.
