There’s a brand-new reason to smile at John Ball Zoo—baby Hugo, the Pygmy Hippopotamus, is here and already making hearts melt around the world!

This season, share the magic of the Zoo with a John Ball Zoo Membership. Members enjoy unlimited visits all year long, plus 20% off food, beverages, and gift shop purchases. You’ll also get exclusive discounts on group tours and special behind-the-scenes experiences with some of our most beloved animals—including Hugo, our baby snow leopard Juniper, and many more!

Whether you’re giving a membership or getting one for your own family, it’s the perfect gift that lasts all year.

Give or get a John Ball Zoo Membership by December 31, 2025, and make this holiday season truly wild!
