Special discount, along with a Max & Erma’s dining certificate, now available through exclusive WAVE3.com on-line offer

The Louisville Zoo has teamed up with WAVE3.com and Max and Erma’s to offer an exclusive opportunity to purchase a discounted family membership to the Louisville Zoo.

Now through Sunday, Sept. 21, 2008, simply log on to WAVE3.com to purchase a new Louisville Zoo Family Membership for only $70 (a $5 savings). The first 500 purchasers also receive a $25 dining certificate to Max & Erma’s Restaurants.

There’s always something new to see and do at the Louisville Zoo. With more than 1,300 animals, 134 acres of lush settings and plenty of special events, you’ll want to bring your family again and again! A Zoo membership lets you visit free as many times as you want during regular hours, giving visitors endless opportunities to experience what’s new at the Zoo—whether it is for quality time with your family or just short visits with some of our amazing animals like Scotty, the baby elephant. Plus Zoo members also receive FREE admission to the upcoming “World’s Largest Halloween Party!” in October.

The $70 Family Membership, our most popular membership, includes:

  • Two adults in the same household and up to four of their dependent children 18 and under or

Zoo memberships help the Louisville Zoo preserve and care for threatened and endangered species as well as support critical conservation education programs. In addition, $1 of every membership supports our partnerships in conservation projects worldwide.

This on-line membership promotion runs through Sunday, Sept. 21, 2008, on WAVE3.com with support from WAVE3 TV and Max & Erma’s Restaurants.
