Oregon Zoo Tours and Tickets

Q: Do you have to make reservations for the Oregon Zoo?

No, you do not need to make reservations for the Oregon Zoo, as tickets are available at the entrance. However, reserving in advance is a good idea, as some dates and times sell out. Reservations are also a good idea if you want to attend special events.

Q: How long does it take to walk through the Oregon Zoo?

It takes at least two hours to walk through the zoo, though it's good to give yourself three or four hours to take your time at different enclosures, stop for a meal at one of the on-site eateries, or attend a feeding or a zookeeper talk.

Q: How much is Oregon Zoo parking?

There's a public parking lot run by the city of Portland right next to the zoo. Parking here is metered and costs $2 per hour or $8 for the whole day. You can pay at a pay station or by using the ParkingKitty mobile app (which levies a small additional service fee).

Q: Can you bring water bottles to the Oregon Zoo?

Yes, you can bring water bottles to the zoo and other non-alcoholic beverages, but glass containers are not allowed. Soft drinks, juice, beer, wine, and bottled water are also available at food-and-beverage outlets. Drinking fountains and water bottle filling stations are situated throughout the zoo.

Q: What is the best time to visit the Oregon Zoo?

The best time to visit the Oregon Zoo is first thing in the morning, right after the doors open. There are generally fewer crowds this time, particularly on weekdays during the school year. Check the Oregon Zoo website for a schedule of public feedings and zookeeper talks.

Q: Are cameras or video cameras allowed at the Oregon Zoo?

Yes, still and video cameras and cell phone cameras are allowed at the Oregon Zoo. However, if you're a commercial photographer or videographer or plan to use your images or video for commercial purposes, you must contact the Oregon Zoo directly to obtain advance permission.
