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. 

The new prices reflect an increase from 2025, and took effect on Jan. 1. 

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’s tickets increased from $11.95 up to $12.95 and $15.95, respectively. 

For people who live out-of-county, adult tickets now range from $25.95 to $28.95, while children’s tickets range from $17.95 to $20.95. 

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. 

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’s prices go from $17.95 to $25.95, depending on residency and day. 

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.

The Zoo will continue to offer Welcome Wednesday tickets for families receiving SNAP benefits.
