Free or Discounted Admissions
Members of AZA may use their AZA membership for free or discounted admissions to AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums . Not all institutions participate in this program, so be sure to check the list before you visit. It's always a good idea to call BEFORE you visit.

AZA Listserv Groups
AZA hosts hundreds of discussion boards, also known as listservs, to encourage networking and conversation of individuals with like interests. Members are encouraged to become involved in these groups to share interests and learn from your peers. AZA listservs are reserved for members only and require an AZA Member Number to join.
