Frequently Asked Questions

What zoos or aquariums can I visit for free or discounted admission?

Every year the Gladys Porter Zoo enters into agreements with other zoos across the nation to get free or discounted admission for our members. The 2009 Reciprocal List is available for download.

Please keep in mind that during the year there may be changes to the list of participating institutions. While we make every attempt to post updates as soon as possible, it is always a good idea to call ahead before you visit.
