Zoo Coupons
From LoveToKnow Save
If you're eager to see monkeys, lions, and tigers up close, finding zoo coupons is a great idea.
Finding Zoo Coupons
The best way to find zoo coupons is to simply look on the Web site of the zoo you plan to attend. However, keep in mind that the best coupons are those which are given to zoo members.
If you live near a zoo and visit more than two or three times per year, investing in a membership may be a smart move. For example, members of the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens get free admission throughout the year, free guest passes, a discount at the gift shop, and access to exclusive members-only events. The membership also entitles you to discounts at other zoos and aquariums which have cooperative agreements with the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens – a major perk if you want to include other zoos visits as part of your vacation plans.
Other Ways to Save Money at the Zoo
Zoo coupons are great resources for saving money, but they're not the only trick available for travelers on a budget. Here are a few more tips to keep in mind:
- Call the zoo and ask if they offer a discount for tickets purchased in advance. Many zoos will offer a 10-20 percent discount for advance purchases, which can be a great savings if you're traveling in a large group.
- Pack a few snacks to avoid the need to buy overpriced refreshments. Granola bars, trail mix, and apples are all examples of food that keeps well during a day trip. Pack a few drink mix packets and give each family member a bottle of water to refill as needed.
- Give your children a set budget for souvenirs. If you can only afford to spend $10 per child, give them $10 and tell them they are free to buy whatever they want as long as it's less than this amount. If they know they won't be getting extra money, they'll think much harder about what it is they want from the trip.
