Bay to Zoo Program

Oakland Zoo is proud to offer Bay to Zoo Tickets, a program that provides deeply discounted admission tickets to low-income Bay Area residents who receive benefits through a Golden State Advantage EBT card or California WIC card.

• Two adult (age 15-64) daytime admission tickets, $5 each
• Two senior (age 65+) daytime admission tickets, $3 each
• Four child (age 2-14) daytime admission tickets, $3 each
• One parking pass, free of charge

Weekend and holidays sell out and tickets must be reserved in advance. 

On weekdays, if admission tickets are not sold out for the day, Bay to Zoo Tickets are available at entry. Same day ticket availability varies widely and by day of the week/time, so please always call ahead, (510)-632-9525 x100, to confirm if tickets will be available at entry.

Please note, our Bay to Zoo Ticket program offers deeply discounted admission for regular daytime operating hours and does not include benefits for special events like Glowfari.
