The Zoo is fun at any age – just come to our Senior Wednesday series from August 20 through September 24 and see for yourself! We are welcoming all senior citizens ages 62 years and above to receive free general admission all day with a valid ID as proof of age. Walkup tickets only. Accompanying non-senior visitors will need to purchase tickets at the gate or in advance online. Last entry is at 3pm and Zoo closes at 4pm. We hope you stop by and enjoy unleashing your inner wild child!

Seniors can also enjoy $1 off train rides on the Virginia Zoo Express during these days.
