What's your local zoo admission?

    Our zoo is $15 for adults and $11 for kids. We bought a family annual pass last year that was $84, so that seemed like a good deal to us

    @Lilbear: Thank you for the info, it makes sense for us to get the yearly pass! I had no idea.

    @looch: no problem! It is a such a great deal. Especially with young children - there's nothing worse than paying the admission prices just to realize your kid is not in the mood for a zoo trip and having cranky meltdowns the whole time. Lol

    Our local zoo (25 minutes away) is free for kids under 3, $5 for kids, and $7 for adults. $19 for our family with 2 adults, 1 child, and 1 child under 3. We went once for a special event where it was free admission. I wasn't impressed and have not been back since.

    The Philadelphia Zoo (45 minutes away) is $23 for adults and $19 for kids. $84 for our family to go... we have not visited yet.

    We have been to the DC Zoo (2+ hours away) and love it! I might also love the fact that it's free.

    We are less than a mile from a great zoo, it's $20/adult and $12/child (free under 3) in the summer, and $14/$9 in the winter.

    My husband's employer provides a benefit card program that gets two adults in for $9 summer/$5 winter.

    Ours is $14.50 for adults and $11.50 for children. I think the basic family membership is $99. Definitely worth a membership! We went probably 10 times last year. It's a pretty nice zoo (it's about 20-25m from my house though). Plus you get 1/2 price entry to other zoos and aquariums.

    And another great part is you can go for an hour or 3 and you don't have to spend all day there to get your money's worth. Since my DD still needed an afternoon nap we usually went early and were done by 12 or 1.
