I'm not sure...contacting the Brookfield Zoo directly will be best to get accurate information regarding scooters. There is a fabulous tram ride for your entire group that goes throughout the zoo if you're looking to cut down on the walking, but unfortunately it's not running during the pandemic.

They do a spectacular job with Christmas lights and decorations. Due to Covid restrictions you need to visit their site for the latest on indoor animal exhibits.

Dear 939Cheryl -- Please try again. I just checked online and everything was working. Parking is still $15 for cars, but admission is free on Tuesdays and Thursday in October and November. Enjoy your visit.

Dear Andrea, I contacted the Zoo on your behalf. Here is their response: "To redeem the one-time use guest passes, this would be a separate transaction. If you scroll down on the member reservation page, you will see “Reserve Admission Tickets For Member Guests Here”. You can then select the day and time to use them. If they are driving with you, you would leave the parking section blank. If driving separately, a parking fee would apply. The guest passes were extended an additional 4 months, corresponding with the length of our temporary closure. These will be valid to 11/30/2020." If you have any other questions, you can call the office (708.688.8341) daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and a membership rep will help you.

No more elephants in zoos. Zoos are getting away from keeping elephants because they have strong matriarchal bonds and form matriarchal family groups for life. To buy an elephant for display in a zoo, circus, wildlife park is literally tearing a mammal away from its family. They should have A LOT of living space too. And then there are elephant sanctuaries, like in Thailand, for elephants no longer employed as laborers.
