FAQ
Parking is $11 per car. SB Zoo Members park for free.
No, Boo at the Zoo is a separate after-hours event. The Zoo closes at 4:00 PM on Boo at the Zoo days and visitors will be cleared off grounds. The gate will re-open at 4:45 PM for the event.
During the nightly event, the animals settle down for bedtime and parts of the Zoo will not be accessible. To see the Zoo’s animals, guests are encouraged to visit the Santa Barbara Zoo during regular daytime hours.
