Columbus Zoo and Aquarium

Yes, they are $35 to rent. Have a decent amount of them. It's possible on an extremely busy day they would be all rented. Might want to call before you arrive to make sure.

Yes

If they're under 10 they don't have to wear a mask. But if you want to put a mask on them it's up to you

It depends on how many are in the family. We pay around $100 a year and we have the plus one membership. It is worth it if you go 2 times

Yes

Yes there are rides that cost extra but the aquarium is part of the zoo admission.

Yes they have them to rent 5.00

Best to get there early. Because when the temperature starts to raise midday the animals aren't out as much. Not visible because they want to be in the shade.

Card or cash are both accepted.

Yes - but we take water bottles. They fill water bottles for free

Yes

Yes

Yes. The waterpark is not included with general admission

Yeppo! They don't check your bags so you can bring whatever yummies you want. Just don't feed the animals!

But the Manatee's make up for it.

Most of the North American animals are out and about in Jan and Feb, particularly on warm days!

Yes. Each i visited did because it is low conservation and sustainable

Mostly columbua craft but I did see bud light on a few of the taps

Lions, tigers and bears. .

They have strollers that are 2 seated , side by side.

Yes plenty of picnic tables

Yes

You can bring your own to save money if you want. I think the strollers are around $14. It's first come first served, though. The website has more info.

Stroller yes idk cooler

Yes, they are at the Village Rentals and Provisions area just inside the entrance. $10 for a single, $14 for a double. All of them have a sun shade and a small storage pocket. However, it is first come first serve (no reservations) so if it's a busy day you may want to bring your own just to be safe.

For mobility? Yes.

Yes.

I took my 1 year old with a wagon and a diaper bag and a cooler with not one problem

Yes

Yes

Yes, various choices.

Most of the exhibits are outside, but like it was said before, there are quite a bit that are inside, like the elephants, manatees and most of the Australia exhibit.

No strobe lights like you would see in a haunted house but they do have Christmas light shows where the turns will turn on and off (flash) to beats of music, and this is only in certain areas.

If you visit the membership office they will be able to assist you.

Thank you very much

Absolutely. Some of the winter animals were out. You could ride the carousel 🎠 and enjoy a beautiful light display through out the zoo!

You can!! It costs 51 cents. 50 for the coin and one penny for the imprint near a few areas

No they don't sorry

Yes they do

Both places are in the same location. I'm not sure about the ticket cost. We have a season pass. It pays for itself if you go a couple of times. Parking is $10.00. Free parking with season pass.

They have an area where they have a food court and they have little food stands while your walking.

I did see people with coolers. You may want to call them to make sure

Yes most definitely big enough

Yes

I'm pretty sure you just have to get your hand stamped before you exit then you'll be able to come back in.

Yes,they have a Moose exhibit.

19.99 & up We got the $25. It had 5x7and 4wallet.good quality though

I think brining your own would be cheaper anyways, even if they did. But you can rent a riding scooter!

Walk ins available

Yes trees all through out the zoo. You will also have gift shops and places to eat that are inside and exhibits that are inside with hudge fans going.

Not technically. You can show up any time at the time or after. Showing up before your scheduled time defeats the purpose. Throngs of people typically show up right when it opens, the staggered arrival time helps allow for social distancing, protecting patrons and employees.

Was there Friday only need mask to walk in then no mask whole time we were there

No, they require you purchase tickets online for a scheduled time.

Yes

And a great homeschool group special

Yes

Nice. For sure

So you have tried to call the zoos?

What Nancy said. If you have a large crowd coming, it might be best to get the zoo annual pass, as it is reciprocated at MANY zoos and aquariums nationwide.

Unfortunately passed away! ☹

Yes

Yes, book online. Pay when you arrive

I personally took my own so I can have more storage space for my child's diaper bag and snack bag, but you can rent single for 10 and i beleive it's a little more for double.

Hhhhhh you don't need for dinosaur just koala and flamingous lol

Yes and you have to schedule a time to go

Yes there is some geese that walk around, but they didnt really bother anyone

No but they are highly encouraged

Yes you can, you just have to show them your membership card.

Yes, after 3 you don't need a reservation.

Hampton Inn Columbus Dublin Courtyard Columbus Dublin Cloverleaf Suites

It is one of the best news in the entire country.

No but there was plenty to still see and do! I had noticed golf cart trams but not sure of the availability

Yes they do

Yes

https://www.columbuszoo.org/home/visit/plan-your-visit/Admission

I guess that depends on what you call fit...

yes

No it's part of the zoo

Yes

Yea it shouldsnt be more than 50 cause a 1 days pass was 24 dollars when i went in August

Yes

Most are all endangered! Columbus Zoo does not take animals for only entertainment reasons. This facility and the Wilds all take really good care of the animals and resuce a lot of them to care for them. The Columbus Zoo is known for being able to have the first born zoo polar bear which is an animal close to extinction due to the ice caps melting. They are also have reptiles they have that are so close to extinction. Both facilites also precipitate in a breeding program and set animals back into the wild :)

I'm not sure I would call and ask

You can rent wheelchairs at the zoo

Yes

That depends on whether you have to go #1 or #2! Just saying what everyone else is thinking. 😄

Free

Service animals are allowed. ESA are not.

Is there but he wasn't there when I was there

No

Ues

I wouldn't see why not as long as you're daughter (20) has I.D

Yes in with the polar bears

admission tickets for Franklin County residents continue at $14.99 for ages 10-59 and $9.99 for ages 3-9. Franklin County senior citizen admission tickets (guests 60 years and older) are reduced from $10.99 to $9.99.Mar 13, 2015

Yes

Yes

Yes

yes

Yes, if you're over 60.

Yes they do but they always have a limited amount.

They have a membership package that includes both the zoo and water park and then there is also a 2 day pass you can buy and go to one on the first day and the other the 2nd.

Yes I do believe they do but you might want to bring one just in case plus you will save money lol.

I like to go in may or September or October not to hot just when I like to go

Yes they do

Spring/Summer you can go for a swim in the summer then walk over to the zoo. In the spring it is not too hot but no swimming.

Christmas lights are over....over 3 million lights thru out the place

I got it at the front desk.

There is one on Nov. 17. Here is the link - https://www.midohiofoodbank.org/events/wildlights-stuff-truck/

We were there this summer, but I'm unaware

Yes, $2 off up to six tickets with valid military ID https://www.columbuszoo.org/home/visit/plan-your-visit/Admission (halfway down page)

You can also save 2.00 per ticket when you purchase them at Krogers

Walk and ride. Not scary at all. Family oriented

Yes. Goats and cows. Also have a area to ride horses and camels right up the hill from the petting area.

yes they have elephants a very nice zoo

Yes saw many people with wagons.

$10 to park for non members. Franken county residents pay 16.99 , 11.99 for children 3-9, and 11.99 for seniors 60+. Non Franklin county residents pay 21.99, 16.99 for children 3-9 and 16.99 for seniors 60+. That does not include the other individual attractions inside the zoo or the waterpark.

You can buy them at the Zoo. You can also buy them at Kroger for a little cheaper. Franklin County* Under 3: Free  Franklin County* Ages 3-9: $11.99 Franklin County* Ages 10-59: $16.99  Franklin County* Ages 60+: $11.99 *Zoo guests will be asked to provide a valid driver's license, state-issued ID or a current utility bill to receive the Franklin County pricing.  Outside of Franklin County Under 3: Free  Outside of Franklin County Ages 3-9: $16.99 Outside of Franklin County Ages 10-59: $21.99 Outside of Franklin County Ages 60+: $16.99

Matthew O'Connor already answered this question.

Discussed? Admission is discounted for locals because they should be able to enjoy a park/facilities that are supported by thier own tax dollars, roads, law enforcement, sewer/water, employees, etc for less than visitors who contribute to none of those things. It is the same at parks across the country, as it should be.

Yes. It's military week.free for military for zoo and discounted Zombezi bay.

I was there Friday and they didn't ask but they are supposed to

Under 3 years old are free. 3-9, $11.99 10-59, $21.99 60+, $16.99 Its a little cheaper if you live in Franklin County.

As others have stated, the aquarium is part of the regular zoo admission. The aquarium is located to the back left of the zoo as you come in from the main entrance.

Yes there is

The stingray thing was closed last weekend when we were there they are constructing a 300,000 gallon sea lion attraction.

Like the others have mentioned: lazy river dinosaur ride, carousel, camel, and pony rides. All cost additional money. There is a water park attached that has water slides, but you would need to purchase an additional ticket to enter.

The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium allows and accepts service animals of any kind as long as they don't pose a threat like a tiger or something. Although, I don't think emotional support animals are allowed, you would have to look into that and it depends how sevire the disability is. I hope this answer was help to you!

Yes, there are wheelchairs you can rent. The whole zoo is wheelchair accessible as well.

They would love to see the zoo. They got all different kind of animals there. All them have fun walking all over place. Good luck

Yes because some of them are inside, and some of them love the rain. I've been on a rainy day before.

Yes, but only at the petting zoo inside at the north american exibit

No. 2 and under are free

There is a train. I don't remember it touring the the whole zoo.

At the same time the zoo closes as it is inside the zoo. The entire zoo and aquarium close at 5pm, but may stay open longer in the summer.

Yeah it's great to see the animals and fish but the more exotic animals have to stay inside for the colder weather like safari animals

Heart of Africa exhibit closed. Will not open until weather stays consistent 55 degrees. Alligators are closed as well as kangaroos and lorakeets. Animal encounters is closed, making way for new sea lion exhibit open 2019.

17 per person and 10 for parking

Yes

I believe they do.

Yes, they're accredited through September 2020.

Yes they do

If each person has a car in their posession - such as my husband and I each have our own card under the same membership but drove separately, it will definitely cover both cars. I believe each car will have to present a membership card though to be free. I've never been able to present mine and cover another car behind me.

Yes, they do!When my family went they gave my mother a 20% discount!!!!!😜

No

Yes and you also get a discount at the wilds

Yes

We have taken the kids' wagon or a large baby stroller. You can try it and see. Backpacks are good... my daughter has each kid take water and snacks in theirs. Youngest had pullups, then later, extra pants in case of accident.

Service animals only.

Yes definitely

No, its all together.

Yes, as long as he has his I.D. Only if you have a family membership though or individual plus one.

No there is no smoking

You can make it a whole day trip, there's lots to do and a small amusement park inside too

yes you can bring cooler into the zoo plus they built a new picnic area just outside the gate that is covered

20 bucks

Yes right now they do but they are setting up for the lights show.

Yes

I saw all kinds of wagons and strollers, and our wagon was a must for the kids

The Wilds is nice but definitely a drive but worth it.

Yes, thankfully! Had knee surgery, but promised the kiddos we'd go to the zoo.

Of course

Yes, you can.

What's that?

Train🚂

Normal hours 9am to 7pm

Yes

Yep

Go to library for culture pass. 6 people for free

You should probably wear one anyway cuz no one wants to look at your face

Yes

ITS A ZOO WHAT ARE YOU EVEN ASKING LOL

They say there is no wifi for guests and no password

It'd be about 25 minutes depending on exactly where in downtown Columbus!

Yes you can walk from the water park to the zoo . I'm not sure about motels but it's very easy to get there by car .

No but I think if you pay for a ticket into zoombezi you get into the zoo

Never heard 😕

No. Just the admission.

Yes,we just came back from there

Depends if your a resident of Franklin county or not.

Nooooo. I wish. I'd pay that too

Better go early. It was the most crowded we have ever seen it

Yes they had like electric scooters

Mexican wolves

Depending on what the situation is but usually no.

We did the zoo one day and Cosi the next. I would recommend Drury Inn and Suites in Dublin.

Bring your own what?

Rowen, sorry to hear of your experience. That wasn't the case for us today.

Barcode on phone worked fine

Yes there are shaded areas. It was just over 90 degrees. I didn't get to travel through the whole park, but they also had areas with water play areas where the kids could get wet and cool off as well. It was just a muggy day that's all. A great place to visit we are going back soon. The kids loved it

No you don't I used to work their

Prices are different depending on where you live. Columbus residents get a discount. Considering i live an hour from the zoo (so, not cbus, but close enough to go more than once per year), parking and my family of 4, I found a membership to be the better value.

The season pass is well worth the $!I mean parking alone is 10$!!!

Yes

Plus $10 for parking unless a member

No

Not currently but they will be returning to regular operating hours in June which is 7pm

You can smoke outside the zoo. Unfortunately, the animals do not like the smoke

No, but plenty of places surrounding

Child/Senior 16.99$ Adult 21.99$ Franklin resident Child/Senior11.99$ Adult 16.99$ Parking 10$ Membership also available, individual, family, gold etc.. check website..

There is American Alligator in the Shores.. but I couldn’t see it when I visited last Saturday. Probably hiding behind like most of other animals 😁

At this time no

They just lifted the wearing off mask outside.

Yes

On a cellphone, data charges and possible roaming, through your cell service 4g or 5g, maybe. Through the zoo's servers, no.

The Aquarium is in the front and the zoo is behind that. You can go on line and check out the entire layout. columbuszoo.com.

They are high we brought are own food peanut butter and jelly and a small cooler full of drinks

Depends if you live in or out of Franklin County. $11.99 if you're in county. $16.99 if you're out of county.

Hi! Go to columbuszoo.org and click the orange button that says Tickets. A screen will pop up and you should select membership reservations. It will walk you through step by step from there!

I believe that you can also do it in person. When you pay for parking and take in the stub you get that back while signing up.

I believe they are 9.99 each should you wish to purchase. Not everything is available right now, so take that into consideration.

Only thing I know is do not go on a weekend any one of the week days should be fine.

Yes, they are open

You can dodge the crowds and 100 degrees lol. North America is a great choice during this weather!

I would give them a call but they don't really close for rain. But I will tell you as someone who has been going for 17 years, going in the rain is the best time to go. You basically get the whole zoo to yourself and the animals are more active (usually) so I would just bring a poncho and rain boots :)

I just purchased my ticket and parking ticket online before going in. I went early. If you are a Franklin County resident you can purchase your ticket at a cheaper price.

Should be normal hours like the zoo lights

$20 per adult. $10 to park

Yes, there are a few exhibits that bear his name.

No refund go another day.

I believe that the only days the zoo is closed (unless we have another shutdown) are Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Its 10 for parking and 21.99 for general admission.

No.

As far as I've seen you only need a mask on when you go inside any of the buildings, bathrooms included, but other than that I've seen a lot of people who don't wear them when walking around outside of buildings.

This sounds like a question more suited to contacting the zoo directly. Information in regards to volunteer opportunities can be found here: https://www.columbuszoo.org/home/about/volunteer Best of luck in your future endeavors!

All the research I'm finding is saying the same year the zoo opened which is 1927. Hope that helps.

No that was just for the summer season. Although the zoo has brought it back every other summer roughly

Yes

Yes, unless your a member entering at/after 3pm, theb you just need your id and membership card.

If you have a membership yes. Otherwise no. And parking is 10 dollars.

There is no additional charge for the aquatic exhibits just one fee for the whole zoo. I have a family of 3 and the annual zoo pass pays for itself after 2 visits.

https://www.columbuszoo.org/home/visit/plan-your-visit/Admission

They stay open pretty much all year around, however, in the fall it moves to seasonal hours

We brought food, snacks and water and nobody said anything to us.

They do rent strollers. Couldn't find info on the shuttle passes. You may have to call

Yes, it's fantastic

Yes

Recommend the food court near the gorillas. It has the most options.

Just call with resurvation

Yes. Lots of shelter and buildings and it won't be so hot!!!

The stingrays pool is opened and you can feed and touch there will be help from the staff masks requested in buildings

Nope. But there is a CVS down the road.

No, the zoo is in Delaware county so to Governor's mandate does not apply here. We went on Saturday and I would say about 40% of people had masks on.

There are different levels of passed and some do include rides. Yes the family membership would likely be worth it

Przewalski's horse

Noooo!!! We went less than a week ago. They do not require it but suggest it. The vast majority of visitors are not choosing to wear one. They have a variety of protocols in place to help with social distancing. You must buy your tickets and parking online and reserve a time slot at least the day before you go. This prevents crowds from forming at the entrance and turnstiles. A couple of the indoor exhibits are closed, there are no shows or keeper talks, several food vendors are closed, and one way paths are labeled throughout.

You can rent wheelchairs, they will be disinfected before and after each use. As far as getting tickets at Kroger, I'm not sure.

Kids under 3 is free, I have a kid that is under 3

I don't believe tickets are refundable, but perhaps you can get new tickets issued for another date in exchange.

No mask required by visitors. I would recommend wearing a mask at the indoor exhibits.

Yes they do

not sure you would probably have to call the Zoo on this one

Yes, it is

Yes, military will get in free on Veterans Day.

Not mandatory but I suggest wearing a mask around crowds.

yes

It is open but you have to go online to make reservations for both a particular day and entry time slot. Some attractions at the zoo are closed, but most is available for viewing. Check their website for full information. Hope this helps.

You have to reserve a entry time on line.

Mr. Hanna is usually scheduled only teo or three times a year. If you call the main number they should be able to give you dates.(columbuszoo.org/about/learning-about-the-zoo/jack-hanna)

Columbus zoo. With

More than likely it will...

Not sure when. But they have some animals online

Under 45.00

Save $1 on adult, child & senior admission. https://discounts.ohio.aaa.com/partner/columbus-zoo-and-aquarium/?pid=78368

Discounted entry fee now.

Go to the web site. There are different types of tours and hours change depending on season.

I don't know what you mean by private but that are picnic tables in different places. You can bring your own so long you are within the cooler size limitations. There are food and beverages available.

It is open year round. Starting in November they will have their wildlights going on then. I am told by my son a law that it is a butiefull thing to see

Yes.

If you plan on going frequently a membership makes more sense.

I don't work there but it's a good amount that info will be on the website you should apply!

Afraid I'm not sure either. Sorry.

Yes. They were doing them but during the daylight.

AEP has a BOGO free coupon, Google AEP Wildlights for info.

Not at the main zoo location. At their sister location the Wilds you can go on a tour that takes you through an open air safari.

A lot.

Yeah i just went on Monday and there is no ice skating there

Yes, there still are.

Also, I'm pretty sure I've been told the person in the wheelchair and the person assisting don't pay admission.

During normal working hours the exhibits close promptly at closing time. They are usually pretty good about not rushing you out if you are in another area of the park and walking out...or grabbing a last minute snack or souvenir. They do have Wildlights and Boo at the zoo with extended hours; but not all areas of the park or exhibits are open during these extended hours if you want to see them; plan on spending the day. It's worth mentioning the price is the same no matter when you get there so for the most experience for the dollar you should go as early as you can depending on what you want to see

The aquarium is right in the zoo. You don't need that if you don't normally use a wheel chair.

Not sure on reservations, but they do have electric scooters

He was there this summer. I believe he still makes appearances for special events.

22 adult dollars not living in Franklin County and 17 children over 3 years plus 10 parking dollars

It's $15 for a manual wheelchair and $35 for an electric scooter.

Horseshoe crabs are scavengers, or cleaners that aid in the decomposition of dead plant and animal matter.

Their website says "We are unable to accept reservations for these items. All wheelchairs, scooters, strollers, and lockers are available are available on a first come/first serve basis."

I agree. On the website is a good option. You should also search for deals & discounts though.

Can any locals recommend a good doggy daycare/kennel close to the zoo?

It depends on what kind of ticket you're buying (adult, children's, etc). Regular adult ticket is $22. But look on their website for the other pricing.

$11.99 for Franklin County Residents, $16.99 for Non-residents https://www.columbuszoo.org/home/visit/plan-your-visit/Admission

Yes, but only into the picnic shelter located outside the park.

I think they have them out at certain times of the day but I am not sure.

Yes, is open sundays

22x10x12 https://www.columbuszoo.org/home/visit/plan-your-visit/zoo-policies

And

No dolphins but there is penguins

Yes but there is a size limit for bags. You can find it on their website. I have taken a small igloo cooler and never had a problem

You can purchase those at the box office in person

The zoo has an exotic bird "habitat" that visitors can walk into and enjoy. I can remember actually 2 places within the zoo that you will find birds, one connected to another attraction then a big like... Caged area full of colorful birds. Im not sure if they're specifically birds of paradise, but I can confirm there are exotic birds that you can enjoy.

Yes , even double strollers

No

23.99 at the gate

Variety. Exotic, & domestic farm animals. Petting zoo.

Kroger's stores

Good morning everyone i don't know the best option if have chance to visit the zoo ask the guide work the same department should be he know the answer good luck

I sure must of did it all wrg cause for concern he 4 of us to get the zoo n swim pkg was $140.00

Yes, it costs 10.99 for a huge refillable cup with a straw and a lid. Then you get free refills all day long. If you bring the cup back later in the season, refills are only 99 cents. It's a great value, especially when trying to stay hydrated in the summer heat. I recommend the lemonade or the Gatorade.

War is the smocking aire

General admission for ages 10-59 is $21.99. Ages 3-9 is $16.99

A rough price range would be 50 or less per person if including Zoombezi Bay

Size limit look on website I think it is 14 by 14

Milly Beasley has a good answer.

I live five minutes from the zoo so I have a season pass. Go to columbuszoo.org.

The aquarium is one building with the manatees and some salt water fish. So it is not large but the exhibit is impressive with the manatees residing with rays, etc. They have "baby" manatees right now. If you are expecting a full size aquarium within the zoo, it is not. However I loved it.

Yes, there are a number of different snakes in the reptile building.

its not new but well maintained and beautiful

You would need to contact the zoo directly.

The Wilds is much farther east and has a separate admission. Zoo admission does include aquarium admission.

Yes

I believe it's a non smoking zoo.

I'm not sure honestly but it should tell you on the website if they do that

I have a toddler and I rent the double. It is more comfortable for her. And more space to keep everything

I'm not aware of any fishing opportunities at the zoo.

Yep! I went a few days ago and it wasn't bad at all. It didnt get on the way of our day ag the zoo. So you should be good.

Go to website it should say

Train is $2 and Pony is for $5. I think camel ride is for $7

Not that I am aware of but they do special events with local businesses for reduced prices.

General admission for zoo members are listed below straight from their website. kids (3-9) and seniors (60+)is 23.99 Adults 10-59 is 25.99

Yes its $2 off on up to 6 tickets with a valid military ID

No

Yes. It is extra, but worth it for kids.

Yes, they are in vending machines.

Yeah

Discounts for county residents but no discount for low income families

Yes, several open spots and a couple of reservable spots.

Yes we live in streetsboro and are homeschooled and have recently been able to go but now they need 15 people for the school pricing

They had single and double strollers but I don't remember seeing wagons. They do have motorized scooters

No

Just the driver

This link gives you full information on addmission costs. Franklin County residents get a cheaper admission rate and children and seniors are a lower cost than adults. https://www.columbuszoo.org/home/visit/plan-your-visit/Admission

I dont think so but maybe

About 20 mins

They do have sloths

There r many and some that r 5 star. Enjoy ur visit 2 the zoo and have a nice day.

Yes an also can feed them with the pet food

Yes. You may just not be able to park close w a trailer

Yes you can and there is not special parking lot for you!!

If you get a family membership they will refund the $10 you paid to parking. Then every time you go to the Columbus zoo will have free parking

Not at all!

https://photos.app.goo.gl/tDShyWvZhmKMfCZ69 Here's a link to a screenshot with the prices.

I think it is $22. Unless you have a AAA card. Then you can it for $11.

Zoombezi Bay is not included in Zoo admission, but if you buy admission to Zoombezi Bay, you get access to the Zoo, too.

The price is contingent on your residency and age. Franklin county residents: 3yrs and under are free 3-9yrs 11.99 10-59 yrs 16.99 60+ yrs 11.99 Non residents 3yrs and under are free 3-9yrs 16.99 10-59 yrs 21.99 60+ yrs 16.99

I saw single and double strollers listed... But I didn't check the price.

Yes they do

They have wagons for kids and storller for lil kids and wheel chair for older people but not sure how much

I don't think they have parakeets. But last time I went, several of the aviaries were closed.

Half priced tix on Wednesdays

Nope.. they have scooter for 1 person

No, not if you're doing both.

9 am-7pm

I would check the columbus zoo website and check what their hours are for Memorial Day. I believe they are open though.

Yes they are allowed.

They have 2 playgrounds for children

Check their website for holiday hours. I believe the zoo is open on Memorial Day, but I would check their website to be sure.

Pretty sure that they are.

U should be fine i had my bag cooler attached to my double stroller i dont think anyone actually looked but it was mothers day too super crowded!

Sorry, dont know that one. Don't you know what you bought? I'd find out what your buying before spending money. You must be rich.

Not sure we brought ours

No

👍 yes

$3 I believe if you don't have a membership, $2 I think if you do. 2 and under ride free

$14.00 general $9.00 kids ages 3-9, and senior $9.00, and parking is $10.00

Yes

Better call them

Usually all of the animals... Yesterday it stormed so a lot of the animals went inside.

It's actually in the right hand side after you walk through the gates it looks like a little store.

Sign said 9 to 5

Depends on how old they are. If they are younger than 3 they are free. You can check their website for pricing.

Yes

Not sure but in my opinion it should .... congratulations...

Yes, discount on season membership. I think.

Yes 2 adults n kids under 21

Guests are welcome to bring bags up to 22” long x 10” wide x 12” high, and coolers (hard and soft) up to 14” x 14.” Bags, suitcases and coolers on wheels are prohibited.

Yes but there are conditions. https://www.columbuszoo.org/home/visit/plan-your-visit/zoo-policies

Yes bag cooler bout big as a book bag no wheel coolers

The Zoo is funded by Franklin County taxes.

Follow this link. It shows their pricing as well as parking. It depends on if your a resident of the county or not. https://www.columbuszoo.org/home/visit/plan-your-visit/Admission

The Columbus Zoo is great!

The band let you do extras at no additional cost like ride train and carousel..its $10

The prices of the tickets vary. The information is on this website. https://www.columbuszoo.org/home/visit/plan-your-visit/Admission

Yes they have a special for Easter cool stuff for kids

Yes I was there Thursday

Yep, they're open 9am-5pm on Easter Sunday, but all of the Easter activities we're/are yesterday and today.

May 4th it opens for weekends only, on May 25th it will open daily until August 19th when it will again only be open on weekends and Labor day until September 30th! We can't wait for the new exhibit!

Under 3 is free. 3-9 is 11.99, 10-59 is 16.99, 60 plus is 11.99. If you live outside of Franklin county add 5 dollars to each.

The columbus zoo isnt just for people living in columbus, but if you are wanting to get a zoo membership you need to have proof of ID with a correct address on it.

They are doing seasonal hiring at the moment. Heard an ad on the radio for it.

I think you would be better contacting someone at the zoo. But I also think that one ticket is for one person. So I don't think their provider will get in for free.

Under 3 is free, $11.99 for 3-9 and $16.99 for 10 and older

If you go right now, I'd say the aquarium. If you go when all exhibits are open, I'd say Columbus. I've been to both.

You can use any form of payment- cash, debit or credit cards. When I mentioned 1/2, I meant "half". So, tickets are helf price on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.

If you are already there just go to the front guest services (near the ticket sales). Or, if you noticed this before you got there you can contact the zoo services at 614-724-3489 and explain the lost card. They should be happy to mail you a new one.

James householder are the remains of the house at wildcat hollow? I'd love to explore them. We go every year.

Yes they can

I think they even have a picnic area just outside the gate where you can store your cooler so you don't have to drag it around with you or go all the way back to your car.

I agree. It's never a bad time to go to the zoo.

Nope

Parking is $10 for non members on top of entry fee.

Yes they have quite a few. A beautiful Merry Go Round,a Dinosaur adventure ride and many others.Also a Manta Ray encounter where you can touch a Sting Ran in a pool (the shatp barb has been removed from the tails) You need to exp.it for yourself. It Truly is a wonderful place to visit.

My understanding is service dogs only

I have no idea. It was my first time visiting there. Absolutely Loved It. The Children Had A Wonder Fun Time.

Full price for a non Franklin County resident is $21.99. Admission is half price for about another week for winter.

Not sure, I would contact guest services just to be sure.

Not positive, you can check with either zoo to see if there is a reciprocal admission or discount. If there is it usually does not include parking.

Yes, Cota.

We stayed at the Hyatt Place in Dublin. It was about 20 minutes from the zoo and is a decent area. There were plenty of nearby restaurants and the hotel was affordable with free breakfast.

I honestly do not remember. We took a bus trip, it was included in the price. We also visited other places. You could Google, Columbus Zoo and get prices. I have been to many zoos. I would rate this zoo as number one on my list. Worth every cent.

I,'m not sure too. But you can get a good discount if you use the zoo bus. https://www.cota.com/zoobus/

No, you get a discounted Wilds membership add-on with certain levels of membership to the zoo.

The zoo is on the bigger side of medium. You'll walk a lot but it's not a trek. Also it's spelled Columbus :)

You can Google pet sitters near Columbus Zoo on your mobile device or computer. It should list services near your exact location.

Yes one day is good make sure you start early if you are just visiting the zoo area the water park is connected but is closed in winter. Zoombezi Bay is the name.

It gets dark early

Yes

Thank you Brian!

Parking is $10, kids under 3 free, ages 3-9 and 60+ are $16.99 and 10-59 are $21.99. They do have a special, 50% off through 2/28, and $5 off for March 1- April 20. And, they have activity packages as well. If you have a large family, the most economical option may be the Membership. https://www.columbuszoo.org/home/visit/plan-your-visit/Admission

You can adopt it t but you do not get take it home

Yes not new years day

Yup

It says for education and tours only on their site. I did find an outside vendor

I believe pets are not allowed unless it is a service animal

So everyone knows, they have coupons you can get at wendys for wildlights where you can get up to 6 tickets for $10 each instead of paying full price adult $16.99 and kids $11.99.

Yes

Wildlights open til 10 pm on Friday and Saturday nights

16.99 if you live in Franklin county, 21.99 otherwise. Though someone handed me a coupon for wildlights when I was in line to get a ticket, so it only cost 10 dollars per person for me and my friend.

Yes when you can find a day not to cold. Walk all the way to the back see all the animals on your way then by that time is the lights are on And you can see them all on your way out

What do you mean

They sell tickets at the gate and it $17 if you live in franklin county. $21 if you dont.

Theresa that's a very good question. I would most certainly call before going out.

From 5 pm to closing time, which differs from weekend to weekdays

Parking is $10 and there is a very large lot.

See Jacklyn Binzer

That's what their website says for Dec 08. See the approved animal gifts on their website.

What they said. Lol

It appears they only have a golden frog... sad since they are extinct

Yes

Your best bet is to call the customer service line and ask them. Good luck!

They do hire for seasonal help. You'll want to contact them directly. This is mainly for reviews, and anecdotal experiences.

Yes, it's included, person with you have to pay about 16 bucks, special rides/movie are extra...

Not this year

No. $10
