Ticket Details & Restrictions

Tickets will NOT be available at Cosley Zoo and must be reserved online. A ticket is required for each individual guest regardless of age or status (member, resident, etc.)

To ensure a quality experience for all guests the zoo will be limiting the number of visitors to enhance your visit. This will be accomplished by offering timed ticket entry staggered every 15 minutes.

Tickets may be reserved up to five days in advance.

Select your arrival time - Tickets can be reserved for time periods starting at 9A with the last admission time window at 4P (zoo visitation hours are 9A-5P). Guests may enter within the 15-minute window listed on the ticket.

A Cosley Zoo online timed ticket must be presented for each individual in your group for entry into the zoo.

Zoo members will need their photo ID, membership card and timed ticket (printed or on a mobile device) for admission. Wheaton Park District residents will need their resident ID card and timed tickets for entry.

Children 17 and under are free but require an online ticket. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by a person 18 or older.

To transfer your tickets to a different date/time, log into your Eventbrite account and select "Tickets". Select your order and click "transfer" to see your options. Follow the prompts to complete your transfer.

If you or anyone in your household is currently exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms or simply are not feeling well, please stay home and visit the zoo at another time.
