Your visit will be different than in the past.
Why? Health and safety — yours, ours and others.
Admission Pricing
At this time, we are unable to accommodate school visits including home schools, group sales, SENC discounts, and reciprocal memberships from other zoos and aquariums, except the NC Zoo. We appreciate your understanding.
Cleaning and disinfecting
