Pokémon have been spotted on site! With many areas of the Birmingham Zoo being part of the new Pokémon Go app, visitors have been seen catching Pikachu and friends throughout the park, battling in the 2 gyms within the Zoo, and visiting over 25 Pokéstops. The Birmingham Zoo would like to invite the community to join the excitement of the Pokémon Go game, and will be offering half-price admission* to all guests who show the downloaded app on their phone now through August 7. In addition, guests will be able to visit special daily lures placed by the Birmingham Zoo that will help them advance in the game.

The Birmingham Zoo is reminding users to stay on the marked pathways and respect all warning signs throughout the 122 acre site that are in place to protect our visitors and the wildlife in the Zoo’s care. Users can have a great experience chasing Pikachu and his friends while respecting Birmingham Zoo plants and animals. Although you may see Magikarp in the Zoo’s alligator’s, Rhyhorn with the rhinoceros, or Bulbasaur in with the Komodo Dragon, visitors will have to “catch em all” while staying beyond Zoo barriers for the safety of the animals and guests.

*This offer cannot be combined with other Zoo promotional offers. Only 1 discount per 1 downloaded app presented.
