Group Reservations

Attention all school, church, business or community groups, book your trip to the Birmingham Zoo today! It only takes a minimum of 15 people to be considered as a group. Being a group allows for discounts on admission and rides, which include the train, carousel and slide. After completing the reservation form below, we will be in touch to confirm your visit date. Group reservations must be made at least two weeks in advance.

You can also go on an adventure with a Field Experience where Zoo Educators will take your group to study specific exhibits in depth.

If you have older students in your group, we offer Zoo University for grades 7-12 where Zoo Educators will teach a variety of topics such as conservation and its different effects on the environment. Whatever you want to do at the Zoo, we look forward to making your group trip the wildest it can be!

*Please note – Education Programs will not be offered May 26 – August, 2017.
