Community Access Program Application
The Zoo’s Community Access Program (CAP) provides free or reduced-price admission to K-12 students from Title I public and charter schools (with 40% or more of the students receiving free or reduced-priced lunches).
Applications for our Spring 2026 CAP Season will go live on Monday, January 26th for Philadelphia Schools and Monday, February 2nd for all other schools (availability dependent).
Community Access Program Application
Please coordinate with your school administration and fellow educators to submit one application per school per date. Additional applications may result in processing delays or updates to another teacher’s existing reservation. This application will allow you to reserve between 15-120 free student tickets per school (K-12), depending on free ticket availability at the time of review. Additional students in excess of the allotted 120 per school or for trips requested after we have reached capacity will qualify for our reduced rate of $7.00 per student.
