The Cincinnati Zoo has  a GREAT membership promotion out there.  If you aren’t members of the zoo yet, this might just tip you over the edge.  When you buy a membership to the zoo now, it will last until December 31, 2010.  That’s up to 14.5 months for the price of 12.

Even without this promotion I think a zoo membership is a great deal.  With small kids you can go to the zoo for a few hours and then come back again on another day for few hours.  Do this several times over the course of a year and the kids have seen the whole zoo, and you aren’t stressed by trying to squeeze in all the animals in one day.  And as the kids grow, it’s still a fun place to go and see the animals and learn about the world around us.

So, for a modest fee (see the website link below for one that fits your family) you get:

  • Free admission to the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden
  • Free admission to the PNC Festival of Lights this year AND NEXT (remember the membership is good through New Year’s Eve, NEXT YEAR)
  • discounts on gift shop and food
  • discounted guest passes
  • And….discounted (or maybe free) admission to other zoo’s nationwide

Full details and buy online at the Zoo’s website here. Maybe we’ll see you there sometime.
