Welcome to Roger Williams Park Zoo!
Guests should choose a specific day and specific time slot, as visit capacity is limited. The time slot is your arrival window (ex: if you choose 1 PM, you must arrive between 1 – 2 PM). Once on grounds you may stay as long as you’d like during operating hours.
Member Ticketing: Current Roger Williams Park Zoo members no longer need to reserve a timed ticket in advance - just show your digital membership card and a photo ID at any ticket booth for entry on the day of your visit.
Save now! Group discounts available: Groups with 10 or more paying guests SAVE! You'll save $2 on each ticket type. This discount will apply automatically when 10 or more paid tickets are added to your cart.

Additional General Admission ticket information:
- All purchases are final, so please choose carefully - orders are not eligible for refunds, reschedules, and/or rainchecks.
- Discounts including military and reciprocal discounts must be purchased in-person. Group and library discounts are available online.
- Last admission into the zoo is at 3:30 PM. If you are reserving tickets for the 2 PM timeslot, please plan to arrive as close to 2 PM as possible to ensure you can see the entire zoo (an average visit is 1.5 hours and some exhibits close at 3:30 PM, with the entire zoo closing at 4 PM).
- A small non-refundable service fee is automatically charged to each order.
- Our zoo will proudly receive guests regardless of the forecast, so we encourage you to dress accordingly and have fun!

Please note that lots can fill quickly on busy days and ticket purchases do not guarantee lot availability. To avoid parking setbacks, you may want to consider ride share services or bussing on high-volume days.
