All named adults present must show photo ID upon entering the Zoo and at all rides and attractions to prevent misuse of memberships. As a nonprofit organization, we rely greatly on membership and admission revenue for support. If memberships were shared by families and friends, we would not be able to support your Zoo as effectively. Not only does requiring an ID protect the value of all memberships, but it also protects you if your card is ever lost or stolen.
Only those adults named on your membership may use the membership card. The Family Plus and Zookeeper levels will allow extra guests with each visit, so upgrading may be right for you. A Zoo membership makes a great gift any time of year for friends or family who wish to come to the Zoo with you!
A nanny/caregiver can be added to a Family Plus or Zookeeper level membership as a named guest on the card ($5 card fee will apply if adding to an existing membership). You can upgrade to the Family Plus or Zookeeper level at any time during your membership cycle at the admissions gate or by calling us at (401) 785-3510 ext. 375.
We do not share your information with any other institution and therefore, they cannot look you up in their system. If you are planning a trip to another institution, please call us ahead of time (Monday-Friday, 8:30 am - 3:30 pm) or email us at membership@rwpzoo.org and we will make every effort to accommodate your needs. Please note that email requests after 3:30 pm will be handled on the next business day. Be aware that we cannot call another institution on your behalf.
Your RWPZoo membership can be used for discounted admission at the Boston Museum of Science, Franklin Park Zoo and Stone Zoo in MA, and at the Mystic Aquarium and Beardsley Zoo in CT. We do not have a reciprocal agreement with Capron Park or Buttonwoods Zoo. Click here for a complete list of reciprocal organizations and their specific policies.
Discounts must be applied at the time of purchase. Discounts will not be retroactively applied to a purchase. However, you can utilize discounts for a renewal if you wish to add another discounted year to your current membership term.
Absolutely! If you plan to apply your day’s admission to a membership you must do so on the same day you purchased your tickets. Please bring your ticket receipt to an admissions booth before closing and we’ll be happy to credit the price of applicable tickets to the membership level of your choice. Only general daytime admission fees may be applied toward a membership; special event admission, attraction and other tickets purchased are not applicable.
We do not assign credit for time the membership was not used. Even if you have lost or not yet received your cards, you are always able to visit the Zoo when you bring a photo ID.
Unfortunately, we are unable to place temporary freezes or holds on memberships.
Funds raised by the Zoo’s membership program directly support the nonprofit Roger Williams Park Zoo’s daily operations and conservation work. Memberships are non-refundable. If you are moving, be sure to check with the local zoo or aquarium in your new area for reciprocal benefits for the remainder of your Roger Williams Park Zoo membership.
