Winter Wednesdays at the Sedgwick County Zoo: $5 Admission

Winter Wednesdays at the Sedgwick County Zoo are back, and admission is just $5 for everyone! Bundle up with coats and hats, or take advantage of the beautiful weather we sometimes have during the winter months and enjoy your Zoo Discount!

The Sedgwick County Zoo is one of Wichita’s favorite Family Attractions, but regular admission can add up if you don’t have a membership. That’s why Winter Wednesdays are such a great deal. From November through February, admission drops to just $5 per person every Wednesday—no coupons or promo codes needed. It’s one of the easiest ways to enjoy the zoo for less during the cooler months.

Of course, if it’s really cold, you can still comfortably enjoy the indoor exhibits, or just bundle up really well.

Winter weather in Wichita can be all over the place, but no matter the temperature, you can still score discounted admission on Winter Wednesdays at the Sedgwick County Zoo. With our mild Kansas winters, this deal is an easy, budget-friendly way to enjoy a day at the zoo without paying full price.
