Self-Guided Groups
CuriOdyssey is an ideal group destination. Our comfortable size and personal scale provide a safe community atmosphere that encourages exploration and learning. Interactive exhibits, beautiful gardens, amazing live animals, and high-quality public programs combine to provide an unforgettable experience.
We offer discounted admission for groups of 10 or more, with advance registration and payment. The group rate is available only to school and organized groups Tuesday – Friday. All fees collected fewer than 30 days prior to your visit will be at the regular admission rates.
CuriOdyssey is a non-profit and relies on program fees and contributed support to provide care for our animals and give the super power of science to the next generation of critical thinkers.
Group Admission Rates:
- Adults (18–61 years): $13.95
- Children (18 months–17 years): $11.75
- Students (with school ID): $11.75
- Seniors (62+ years): $11.75

To receive the group admission fee rate you must make your reservation at least 30 days in advance and pre-pay your fees. A 20% deposit is required to confirm all reservations.
Reservations made with fewer than 30 days pay the regular admission rate due on the day you arrive.
