A year of FREE admission is just the beginning!

The Tautphaus Park Zoological Society is a non-profit corporation dedicated to assisting the City of Idaho Falls in the promotion and expansion of the zoo –for our families and for the animals.

As a member you become part of the zoo’s efforts to meet the challenges of preserving and conserving threatened and endangered animal species. The zoo’s exhibits are designed to increase awareness of the animal kingdom and the delicate interdependence of all living things. Money raised through membership sales helps support conservation, education and research.

As a member you’ll get to see all the new exhibits before they open to the public. Plus, you’ll get to take advantage of our reciprocal program! Show your membership card and receive free or discounted admission to over 100 other zoos and aquariums across the nation. That’s just the beginning…
