Best to call the zoo and ask....

Not anymore

Varies, depending on Lucas County resident or not, age, special events, discount days.... Oh, and if you're a momber, it's free. Generally, it's $19-21 for adults, and $16 for older kids.

You are asking the wrong people. This is a forum for travelers to comment about places we have been and we are citizens with no connection to the zoo. You should call the zoo directly and ask

Yes, you can bring a cooler with food and nonalcoholic beverages.

The Toledo Zoo does have reciprocity. We have a Columbus Zoo membership and got 50% off.

No. Service dogs only, unless there is a special event going on that allows for family pets to enter the zoo.

Walk thru the entrance gate & veer off to the right and look for a little “Shack” or small building with a sign that says “Rentals”. You will find, wagons, wheel chairs & the motorized Handicapped units you are looking for.

Not sure what you mean by “behind the scenes”. Nor have I ever heard of that. Whoever told you about access to “ behind the scenes” is the person you should ask about petting.
