Zoo Admission
During this time, the Zoo is open with limited operations and requires a reservation.

To ensure proper social distancing and to best protect our visitors and staff, please be aware of the following:

    *   Masks are required for entry, and at all times during your visit at the Zoo. There are no exceptions. *   Available time slots are per person. Please be sure you're selecting the same date and time per ticket type.
    *   Plan-Ahead Pricing! Ticket prices may change daily, based on expected attendance. The price you see today will not be lower on your desired visit date and may increase as that date approaches. Lock in your visit early and save up to $6 per ticket off the full price!
    *  As we receive cancellations or determine that we can accomodate more visitors, spots may become available. Please check back often if your desired date/time are not available.
    *  We have limited walk-up reservations available per half-hour time slot for in person discounts (Hometown Heroes, Reciprocal Zoo Members, SNAP/EBT, military, etc.). Walk-up reservations are first-come/first-served and not guaranteed.


    If you have questions - please feel free to reach out to our Visitor Experience Team. We are happy to help!: info@cincinnatizoo.org.

Tickets are per person. Ages 8+ only (Must be at least 15 years of age to attend experience alone).
During this experience one of our animal care staff members will introduce you to our resident Galapagos tortoises and fill you in on everything that goes into taking care of the largest species of tortoise in the world!
Guests will get a hands-on experience while they learn all about the history of these amazing animals, as well as the conservation efforts that the Zoo supports to help preserve their precious native islands.

(This experience is different than the public walkthroughs we offer during the summer. During this experience, you will get one-on-one time with a member from our Reptile Team that will tell you all about the tortoises. Guests will also have the opportunity to touch the tortoise’s legs and feet, and offer the tortoises food. These opportunities are not available during our public encounters.)
