The Louisville Zoo, WAVE3.com and Tumbleweed Southwest Grill have teamed up to create an exclusive on-line winter offer—a discounted Frequent Fun Pass (Zoo Membership) to the Louisville Zoo that includes some special bonus incentives.

Now through February 28, 2010, log on to WAVE3.com to purchase a new Louisville

This promotional offer applies to the popular Family and Keeper level memberships. As an extra incentive, the first 500 new members to take advantage of this special offer will receive a $20 gift card to Tumbleweed Southwest Grill; additional buyers beyond the first 500 are entitled to a free kid’s meal. Note: This exclusive on-line promotional offer is reserved for new and former members.

A Louisville Zoo membership is a Frequent Fun Pass—it provides a full year of unlimited free admission to the Zoo during regular Zoo hours. This season, members can share a vast array of fun and educational experiences with their families at a terrific value: over 1,700 animals, 134 acres of lush settings, rides, attractions and more than 20 special events a year. The new animatronic Dinosaurs Alive! exhibit will open this spring as well as Seals & Sea Lions at Glacier Run this summer.

The Family level membership allows admission for two adults and up to four of their children ages 3-18 in the same household. Children age 2 and under are always free. Grandparents may purchase this level for themselves and their grandchildren. The Keeper level membership is the best value package for larger families with more than four children or grandchildren or extra regular guests.

Zoo memberships help the Louisville Zoo preserve and care for threatened and endangered species as well as support critical conservation education programs. For more information, visit our website at www.louisvillezoo.org or call 502-459-CATS (2287).
