AZA Reciprocal Admissions Program

• Members must present a current Birmingham Zoo membership card to receive a discount (other institutions cannot look up a Birmingham Zoo membership)
• Click HERE for the most updated list of reciprocal AZA zoos and aquariums
• The Membership Team may confirm active membership via email or send a screenshot of membership cards for one-time assistance to those visiting other AZA zoos without a membership card. However, this should be requested well ahead of time as this assistance may not be available immediately if a member is already at another facility.

Refunds

• If a membership is not able to be utilized for an extended period of time, it may be suspended once and made inactive until the member is able to visit again. Contact the Membership Team for more information at membership@birminghamzoo.com.
