| How to book a visit | Please call
the zoo office at 647-4685 between 9 AM and 4:30 PM to book a self-guided
tour. The number of visiting groups on any given day is restricted
to avoid overcrowding. If your
group is unable to visit on the scheduled day, please call the zoo
as soon as possible to allow another group to be scheduled at that
time. Attention Teachers: You know your class and what you want to study
at the Zoo. Once you have booked your group’s visit, please use the FREE
Previsit Ticket (one
per class), so that you can plan your day. We
are looking forward to seeing you and your students at the Zoo. |
| Group Rates | Our group
rates are $4.00 per person with a minimum of 15 people (children under
2 are free). For groups of
less than 15, a flat fee of $60 or the regular admission rates (whichever
is less) will be charged. |
| Payment | In order to expedite your group entry into the Zoo, please pay admission fees in one lump sum at the cashier window on the day of the visit. Payment may be by cash, check, Visa, Master Card, Discover, or American Express. Checks should be made payable to “THE NEVADA ZOOLOGICAL FOUNDATION”. An accurate count when making payment is essential as there will be no refunds for errors in counting. No refunds will be issued after payment is made. |
| Lunch |
Groups may bring in lunches but storage facilities are NOT available. Glass containers, straws, plastic lids, umbrellas, and balloons are not allowed. Picnic tables are available on a first come, first served basis. Please encourage students to dispose of all trash in the proper receptacles. The onsite Snack Bar sells cold drinks, ice cream, and candy bars. (Reminder: Please do not feed the Zoo animals. They are fed special diets to maintain their good health.) |
| Supervision |
The Zoo welcomes responsible teachers, group leaders, and chaperones. For everyone’s safety and the well-being of the animals, please accompany your group of children in all areas of the zoo to ensure that they do not upset the animals by shouting, chasing them, or tapping on the glass. Also, please stress to your group to keep fingers out of all exhibits. Supervision is particularly requested in the restroom and gift shop area. Name tags are encouraged but please do not attach them with pins. Adhesive name tags are preferable. Prior to your field trip, please provide each chaperone, group leader, and teacher with a copy of the Chaperone Guide. This guide provides specific pointers that will enhance everyone’s visit to the Zoo. |
