LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Louisville Zoo is offering a new Community Access Membership for families participating in the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, providing them with a deep discount. 

“We want to emphasize Zoo accessibility for everyone. This is something we’ve been working on for a while now and the launch just happens to coincide with a time when there are many out there in need,” said Louisville Zoo Director John Walczak. “We are happy to be able to offer this membership and provide more access to people experiencing challenges.” 

SNAP cards from any state will be accepted. 

The membership is available for the Family level (Option A or B) and can be purchased in person and the Zoo with a valid SNAP card and Photo ID. The purchaser must be one of the named adults on the membership, and those interested are asked to make an online reservation to purchase their membership.
