» Can I purchase a Guest Pass only?
No. You will need to have one full paying adult on the membership to purchase a guest pass.
» What happens if I lose my Guest Pass?
Please advise us in writing that the guest pass has been lost and enclose a cheque for the amount of $35 we will then issue a duplicate and cancel the lost card.
» What happens if I lose my membership cards?
Please advise us in writing that the cards have been lost. The cost for duplicates is $10 for the first card and $5 each additional card to a maximum of $20.
» I read in the membership fee details that children under four years old are free. However, if they are turing 4 in the next 6 months then you bill them now. My question is; even though we pay their joining fee now, will their first year of membership run from the day they turn 4 or from the day we join and are billed?
Thank you for your recent enquiry to Zoo Friends regarding childrens membership.

In response to your question the membership runs from the time you join -not from the day the child turns 4.

Please do not hesitate to contact our office on 9968 2822 if you have any further questions.
» How much is a Guest Pass?
The cost for a Guest Pass is $120.
