Advanced ticket reservations to visit Oakland Zoo are required for General Admission. For more information please visit our Tickets page. Ticket pricing varies daily based on the Plan-Ahead Pricing ticketing system.
Plan-Ahead Pricing allows you to book your zoo visit in advance while keeping your budget and schedule in mind. Please note that ticket prices may vary daily. The closer you book to the date of your visit, the higher the ticket price may be.
To ensure that you get the best ticket price for your visit, we recommend that you book your tickets as far in advance as possible. Did you know there's another option for Zoo admission?

We encourage General Admission guests to purchase parking online, in advance, while purchasing admission tickets.
If you purchased daytime admission tickets without parking, and would like to purchase a parking pass in advance, please visit our parking only webstore.
Upon arrival, General Admission guests will be asked to present their pre-purchased parking ticket. If you do not have a parking ticket when you arrive, you will be asked to purchase one prior to entry.
