Sensory notesThe zoo partners with KultureCity for guests with sensory needs, and its map marks a KultureCity Headphone Zone (a location that may be loud or overstimulating).

RECORDED NEGATIVE, in the zoo’s own FAQ wording: “Do you offer an EBT or Museums for All Discount? No. The Sacramento Zoo does not offer an EBT or Museums for All Discount.”
