As part of a wider review of our plans for 2016 and beyond,
we have recently undertaken a comprehensive review of our membership packages
to ensure they meet the needs of our visitors and continue to offer great value
for money. From January, we’ll be introducing a new Standard Membership alongside an
enhanced Premium Membership option
as well as a host of new benefits and a greater variety of purchase options.
The review took into consideration the benefits of our
existing membership, and the manner in which people use their membership
throughout the year. We also looked at what other zoos and family attractions
offer, as well as taking comments from our members and regular visitors.
We have found that whilst representing very good value for
money, as it stands our 2015 membership offering does not best serve the needs
of all our members, nor does it present the best opportunity for those members
who wish to make the most of their contribution to the zoo by taking advantage
of Gift Aid.
To address these concerns, from January 2016 there
will be two new membership options: Standard
Membership and the enhanced, Premium
Membership.
These packages will deliver:
- More flexible options
- Enhanced benefits
- Added value
- Great savings
Standard Membership:
Our review indicated clearly that year
round unlimited free admission to the zoo is considered the primary benefit
of membership. As such, for the majority of our members, it is the primary
reason for purchase. If that’s all you need, then the Standard Membership is
for you.
Premium Membership:
For those who are more involved with the life of the zoo, attending events, taking advantage of experience days, DZP Rangers, etc., the Premium Membership package offers a host of opportunities for further savings.

Premium Membership will continue to offer the following great
benefits:
- Unlimited free admission all year round
- Priority booking and discounts on DZP events
- 20% discounts on all DZP experience days such as Keeper for a Day
- 20% discount on venue hire for parties and functions
- 50% discount on daily admission to selected attractions such as the National Marine Aquarium, Pennywell Farm and The Big Sheep
And to these great benefits we’ve added:
- 20% Friends & Family discount on admissions (on full price admissions with Premium Member present)
- Special discounts on “Members’ Days” throughout the year – see web site for details
- Complementary Guest Tickets – One ticket for Two Free Adult admissions with each membership (excluding single Adult and single Child Premium Membership)
- 10% Discount on DZP Rangers and Rangers’ Academy
- 20% discount on kids’ parties (if the child is a Premium Member)
- 10% discount on gift shop items (minimum spend of £5 applies)
- Priority access to selected on-site events such as kids’ TV character days
New Family/Multiple
Options:
Our review also indicated a need for greater variety in the range of multiple options available. To address this, we’ve introduced multiple options for families and introduced a couples’ option for further savings.

Renewal Offer
To introduce the new membership packages, we have implemented a renewal
offer to ensure that our existing members are able to choose the best option and
take advantage of the benefits whilst avoiding any immediate price increase.
If you already have a DZP Membership, regardless of the
expiry date, you have until January 30th
to renew your existing membership at the 2015 prices. When your current
membership expires, we’ll simply continue the new membership, complete with
full benefits, for twelve months thereafter.
As an existing member, to take advantage of the renewal
offer, please contact Charlotte Higgins by email or telephone: 01752 837 645.
You can purchase the membership that best suits you on our web site.
