The Virginia Zoo Membership swap
We are partnering with The Virginia Zoo to swap members for unlimited visits in August. As part of your YMCA membership, Y members get free visits to enjoy the zoo's ongoing efforts to save the world’s wildlife, ecosystems, and nature. Zoo members get to enjoy any of our YMCA locations and member amenities.
How Do Y Members Visit The Zoo For Free?
YMCA members can visit the Virginia Zoo at no cost throughout the month of August by presenting the following at the zoo entrance: A valid photo ID, a YMCA key tag (physical key tag or mobile app barcode). Reservations are not required. Members will also receive a 10% discount in the zoo’s gift shop and food service locations.
What Is The Virginia Zoo?
Located in Norfolk, the Virginia Zoo is home to over 700 animals and is committed to global conservation efforts. Visitors can enjoy immersive habitats, educational programming, and seasonal exhibits that support the protection of wildlife and ecosystems worldwide.
How Do Virginia Zoo Members Visit The Y For Free?
During August, Virginia Zoo members can enjoy state-of-the-art fitness equipment, indoor and outdoor pools, group fitness classes, and much more at any of the 14 YMCA of the Virginia Peninsula locations or any of the 21 South Hampton Roads locations. When visiting the Y, bring your zoo membership card and ID, and while at the center, fill out your guest waiver form. It's a perfect chance to try a new fitness routine or participate in one of our many family-friendly activities.
Zoo members who join the Y in August will pay no join fee, a savings of up to $100.
