Each person needs to have their own season pass, and instead of having a one-size-fits-all or family option, we allow each person to choose which level is right for them. So some of your family want to do animal feedings each time they visit, then a Silver Pass might be good for them. If some of your family just want unlimited visits to the wildlife park and splash park during regular hours, then a Basic pass would work fine for them. If you LOVE feedings, want to bring friends and family each time, feed as much as you want, and have access to all the VIP perks then a Gold Pass is definitely your option. In other words, mix and match the levels that best fit your family and how you would connect. Don’t know what you need? Just reach out and we’re happy to help you find the best combo for you and your family!
You do NOT need an ID (driver’s license, passport, etc) to purchase passes. However, adults will need a photo ID to enter the Park unless they have uploaded their photos to their account.
We don’t mail out season pass cards. Silver and Gold Pass holders can pick up cards on their first visit. However, you can use digital passes or print out your own cards by accessing them through the member portal (see above).
To interact with the animals, you will have the option to purchase an Encounter Pass (5 feedings for $10) or Unlimited Encounters (unlimited feedings for the day, for $25) each time you visit.
Your child does not need an ID to be checked in. However, we recommend that their photo is uploaded to the membership portal, so we can ensure it is them.
Yes! You are able to upgrade your passes at any point during our season. Just ask one of our support team and they can assist you in your upgrade.

The Gold and Silver Passes are purchased per individual, and their perks cannot be shared amongst other pass holders on the account.
Your guest will be to participate in Early Entry and an Unlimited Feeding wristband for free when attending with the Gold Pass holder, and gift cards can be used for any purchase that might benefit your guest. All other benefits are not shareable.
The Gold and Silver season passes are good for unlimited visits during Tanganyika’s regular season (March – November). However, the Gold and Silver passes will get you access to new experiences and activities after we close in November 2022 so you have the opportunity to stay connected with the animals and Team Tanganyika during the off-season.
Special Ambassador Animal Days, Enrichment Making Workshops, Park Access (weather permitting). Gold and Silver Season Pass Holders will be notified via text when weather permits park to be open. Make sure to check before coming out!
You can pick up your bumper magnet and t-shirt on your first visit to the Park after opening for the season. If you purchased your pass during our Holiday sale and have a bonus gift card, it is stored on your account and acts as stored value. The Gift Card can be used on anything inside the Park except for our annual fundraisers.
We offer Early Entry during the summer months to access the Park up to one hour before the Park opens. You’ll get to experience the Park waking up for the day, such as keepers preparing the animal’ habitats, animals eating their breakfast, and more! This is a great perk, especially during the heat of the summer!
