The Fresno Chaffee Zoo offers reduced admission prices for families enrolled in the California Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program. This program assists low-income families with nutritional support and access to resources promoting healthy development. Eligible families can experience the zoo’s diverse animal collection and educational programs at a more affordable cost.
Discounted admission facilitates access to enriching experiences for families who might otherwise face financial barriers. Exposure to wildlife and educational exhibits contributes to children’s cognitive development and fosters an appreciation for conservation. These programs play a vital role in promoting family engagement and creating positive experiences within the community. Historically, zoos have sought ways to increase accessibility, and programs like this align with that mission by making educational and recreational opportunities available to a wider audience.
