2021 Zoombezi Bay Sneak Peek for Military Families
Military families can reserve tickets online.
Each ticket requires a $5 commitment fee to reduce “no shows” to ensure the maximum number of service members are able to attend. They have 2800 tickets available for service members and their family. Pick up reserved tickets at the USO Will Call Table in the pavilion outside of the Columbus Zoo main entrance. Zoombezi Bay is open from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM on those days.
When you pick up your tickets at will-call on the day of the event, you’ll get your ticket plus $5 Creature Cash voucher per reserved ticket, which can be use like cash at the Zoo or Zoombezi Bay. No refunds if tickets aren’t picked up at will-call.
If you cannot afford to pay the fee and still want to attend the event, email Sue Ann Carroll at sueann@usocso.org so they can manually enter your name and number of tickets at no charge.

They don’t. The Zoo honors veterans with free admission on Veterans Day, and they also host Military Family Free Days in July with reduced admission for Zoombezi Day. https://www.columbusonthecheap.com/columbus-zoo-military-family-free-days/

Do Veterans get in free on Memorial Day? Thank you! 🇺🇸

It appears to apply to current members only. The Zoo does offer free admission to the Zoo and discounted Zoombezi Bay tickets to military and veterans from June 30-July 8

Is this also for veterans?
