I couldn't find any discount codes that worked from Google search. Once you are in Palm Springs, you may try grabbing some of the free local magazines by the doors of the grocery store or looking at the brochure racks in hotels. Their website on the Tickets Page has a Zoo Promotions drop down menu that explains they have Reciprocal Zoos, Aquariums and Gardens discount, Bank Of America First Sundays and Military discounts.

Q:
Hello, it is going to be my first time a The Living Desert Zoo; my interest is to feed the giraffe. How does it work? Checking admission time is the same as feeding the animal? While feeding, one could gently touch the giraffe's neck or face? or it is limiting to feeding? Is the admission fee good for the entire day at the premises, or they give you a limited amount of time to spend at the zoo? Thank you for your answers
A:
Feeding giraffe time is not whole day, certain time only. You have to pay extra money to buy food to feed giraffe, during the feeding, you may have chance to touch them. Admission …
