PLEASE NOTE: July 1 through Labor Day 2025, access to the Shrine will be limited and available only by reservation ($10 per rider on a guided Jeep tour), in effort to improve the guest experience within the Zoo and to the Shrine. Information and a link to purchase timed ticket reservations for a Scenic Ride to the Shrine jeep tour are only available onsite while at the Zoo, via signage at the ride check-in location at the roundabout near the Grizzly Grill. The Shrine and Scenic Ride to the Shrine are closed on Mondays, and available all other days, weather permitting.
The only road to the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun goes through the Zoo, and with the exception of July 1 – Labor Day 2025, the admission cost for the Shrine is included in your Zoo admission or Zoo membership (additional guests not on the membership must pay Zoo admission).
- The Road to the Shrine is drive-up only – no walking or biking is permitted. (Except for during the Zoo’s annual Run to the Shrine event.)
- The road is open when the Shrine is open, weather and road conditions permitting.
- The Shrine is closed on most major holidays.
- For more information, please visit Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun.
Please Note: The Shrine is subject to closure or restrictions due to inclement weather, adverse road conditions and special Zoo events. Any time the Zoo closes early, the last car up to the Shrine will be one hour prior to the Zoo’s closing time, or in other words, the same time as the last Zoo admission for that day.
