The Zoo Access for All program is designed to encourage families and individuals of all backgrounds to visit the Topeka Zoo and build lifelong and multigenerational memories.  We believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience and cultivate a positive connection to conservation and education, as well as wildlife. We seek to include all members of our community regardless of economic status or other limiting factors.
