Member Nights

If your family holds a John Ball Zoo membership, this is a great chance to experience the zoo in a different way. During Member Nights, the zoo stays open later than usual, giving members exclusive access to special activities and extended playtime. Your kids can enjoy extra animal-focused programming and watch live entertainment throughout the evening—all included at no extra charge beyond your membership. This is a relaxed, members-only event perfect for families who want to explore the zoo at a slower pace without the typical daytime crowds. You can purchase tickets online or grab them at the zoo's ticket window when you arrive. It's designed for all ages, so whether you have toddlers or older kids, there's something to enjoy during these special evening hours.
