Louisville Zoo partners with Dare to Care again for special half price admission and food drive – through Feb. 29, 2012

The Louisville Zoo is teaming up again with Dare to Care Food Bank offering a special half price Zoo admission November 1, 2011 through February 29, 2012 if guests participate in a canned food drive.

To receive the discount on regular adult or child Zoo admission, visitors must bring one canned good per person and present it at the Zoo’s ticket window from now through February 29, 2012. The offer is valid for regular daytime admission and not for Santa’s  Safari, other special fee-based programs, for pre-paid groups of 15 or more or with other discounts. School groups wishing to participate by donating food items will receive a $5 admission rate. (No refunds provided on pre-paid advance or online tickets.)

Some of Dare to Care Food Bank’s most needed items are canned meats, which includes tuna, pork and beans, hearty canned soups, chicken and dumplings, ham, beef stew, chili with meat sauce, ravioli with meat sauce, spaghetti with meatballs,  as well as canned vegetables and fruits, which includes corn, green beans, peas, carrots, peaches, oranges, pineapple and fruit juices.

The Zoo is open daily year round. Fall/winter hours continue through February, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. (exit by 5 p.m.). The Zoo is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.
