Wear comfortable shoes and prepare to do a lot of walking at Guadalajara Zoo.

Take enough cash for the day as many transactions are cash only, including ticket purchases.

There are plenty of on-site bathrooms, snack stops, picnic areas, and souvenir kiosks, although you can also enter with your own food and water.

Children ages 2 and under enter for free.

Booking all-inclusive admission tickets in advance can help save time and potential disappointment on the day.

The majority of Guadalajara Zoo is wheelchair and stroller accessible, but some of the trails may not be; wheelchairs and kiddie carts are available to rent.
