Flexible Annual Passes!
Annual Passes at The Texas Zoo are now totally customizable! To create the perfect pass for your family, first decide how many people need to be covered under your Annual Membership and who is likely to visit the zoo alone or with other guests. For your pass you can name every slot or you can leave all but 1 slot open for unnamed guests. This allows you the flexibility to bring someone new with you to the zoo each visit! Each pass does requires at least one named individual. Once an individual is named, that slot is reserved for that person and cannot be transferred to any other guest. At least one named individual must be present with the pass and a valid photo ID for every visit.
Example: If you choose the Troop pass for a family of 4, the best idea is to name each parent and leave 2 slots blank so both parents are covered to bring the kids on their own.
Children 2 and under are free.
