With over 600 different species of animals at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, there’s a lot to see. As a member of the Cleveland Zoological Society, you have a full year to see them all! Members also receive discounts at Zoo gift shops and on event tickets, like Twilight at the Zoo and Boo at the Zoo, and get member-only pricing on Summer Day Camp and Rising Waters Overnight Camp. Even when the weather turns cold, members always have something to do at the Zoo. Come see our winter-loving animals in a whole new light, stop by the Zoo for December Days, or just thaw out for a few hours in The RainForest.
