With 2026 underway, the Fresno Chaffee Zoo announced its ticket prices for the new year, as well as the return of its popular Zoorasic Park attraction this spring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new prices reflect an increase from 2025, and took effect on Jan. 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

General admission prices increased across most categories compared to the previous year. Fresno County residents adult tickets rose to $20.95 on value days and $23.95 on any day, up from $18.95 in 2025. Children\u2019s tickets increased from $11.95 up to $12.95 and $15.95, respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For people who live out-of-county, adult tickets now range from $25.95 to $28.95, while children\u2019s tickets range from $17.95 to $20.95.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The lower prices for Fresno County residents is a way of giving back to the community for all the support over the years, mainly the passage of Measure Z.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Zoo also offers a Total Zoo Experience ticket, which includes general admission, giraffe feeding and Stingray Bay entry, which is a $6 saving. Adult prices are around $25.95 to $33.95, and children\u2019s prices go from $17.95 to $25.95, depending on residency and day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to general admission prices changing, membership prices were also adjusted. A new $75 individual membership replaces the $100 membership in 2025. Family memberships saw a slight increase from $185 to $190. College student memberships are $50 and dual memberships are $150.<\/p>\n

The Zoo will continue to offer Welcome Wednesday tickets for families receiving SNAP benefits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
