NC Zoo Painted Rocks

Spring Break Alert
The Zoo anticipates high attendance, especially on sunny, warm days. For safety and guest experience, the Zoo may limit admission once parking reaches capacity. This will not only help with crowd management but will also provide a more relaxed and enjoyable visit for guests and their loved ones. Consider arriving early or carpooling, and check our site / social pages often for more updates!

Did you find a painted Zoo rock in your community? Post your find to social media using #NCZooRocks!

Bring your rock to the North Carolina Zoo for a $2 off admission for up to 6 people or re-hide the Zoo rock for someone else.

If you re-hide your rock, please put it in a safe and appropriate place outside of the Zoo. (Please do not place painted rocks in state or federal parks.)

Offer for admission discount good through Dec. 31, 2019
