About this place
A large zoo and aquarium in Powell, north of Columbus, housing over 600 animal species from around the world. Families can watch zookeeper talks and join animal encounters, most included with admission, and spot animals during pop-up presentations throughout the day. The zoo is open daily except on Thanksgiving and Christmas. With 10,000 animals on the grounds, there is always something different to discover on repeat visits.
If you are a member here
A membership to Columbus Zoo and Aquarium carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
