Adventure Passport Program

Chattanooga Zoo members will receive a 2026 Adventure Passport booklet at the ticket booth during their first Zoo visit of the year! The Adventure Passport booklet features a different animal each month and includes scientific facts, profiles on individual animals and interesting questions to answer.

Collect stamps in your passport to win fun prizes! Each month:

  1. Visit Chattanooga Zoo — make sure to bring your Adventure Passport along!
  2. Stop by the ticket booth to have your passport stamped!
  3. Answer the two questions listed for the month.

You can collect your prizes at the ticket booth! With 3 stamps, you earn a Chattanooga Zoo water bottle, 6 stamps earns a keychain, 9 stamps earns an exclusive 2026 lapel pin and Zoo members who collect all 12 stamps in 2026 will participate in a special up-close animal experience in January of 2027!


A few rules:

  • The Adventure Passport Program is exclusive to Chattanooga Zoo members.
  • The passport has a different page for each month. You must visit the Zoo during each month in 2026 to receive each stamp. For example, you must visit the Zoo in January of 2026 to get the January stamp.
    • Member Appreciation Nights are the only exception to this rule. At these members-only events, you can catch up on stamps from the previous four months that you may have missed. (Stamps from more than four months ago will not be available.) Keep an eye on your email and on our website and social media for information and registration links!
  • The program is limited to one passport booklet per Zoo member, and the member must be present to receive their passport stamp.

The Adventure Passport program provides a hands-on, interactive tool for learning and fun!
