Free Admission for Military Personnel

To show appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the men and women in the United States Armed Forces, the Chicago Zoological Society is offering free admission to Brookfield Zoo to all active, reservist, and retired members of the military. The military benefit does not extend to family members. Payment for parking is required. 

To reserve your timed tickets, follow the directions for a complimentary admission pass with a barcode to reserve one free military ticket for yourself and pre-pay for your parking. If you are bringing additional guests, please follow the instructions to purchase new admission tickets. Please present your military ID and your timed tickets at one of the zoo's admission booths for entry.
