Get an early start to your day and begin your adventure when the park opens at 9 am. Cooler temps and less crowds… perfect!

Did you know that the staff at the Fresno Chaffee Zoo has received additional training on autism and other developmental disabilities? Need headphones or special accommodations? Just ask and they’ll be happy to assist!

The Zoo is always improving and you may see construction while you visit. For up to date information check the Zoo’s website. Try to guess what is coming!

Purchase your tickets online, or invest in a membership to be utilized for unlimited visits for a year, and use the shorter lines!

Have an animal enthusiast?! Find the ‘Keeper Chat’ and ‘Bird Show’ schedule online before you go, or posted daily in the Zoo entrance, and learn from the experts. Questions welcome!

With a petting zoo, multiple play areas, rocks to climb and bronze animal statues to touch – this place could not be more kid friendly! Your lil’ explorer will love it!
