Heroes Weekend at the Zoo
September 10-11

To honor those who assisted and sacrificed during one of our country’s greatest times of need, we’ve created Heroes Weekend. On September 10 and 11, to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the events of September 11, 2001, we’re welcoming members of the military (active and retired) and their families. We are also inviting firefighters, police officers and emergency medical services personnel FREE admission to the zoo. Please show a current, government or department issued ID to receive your free admission on September 10 and 11.

 

Admission is also half price on Heroes Weekend for up to six guests accompanying active and retired U.S. military, police, firefighters and emergency medical services personnel.
