Visit Knoxville Zoo for Half Price Through February 28

Posted: 02/18/2011
Don't miss out on the last week of Penguin Discount Days at Knoxville Zoo! Admission to the zoo is halfoff through Feb. 28, 2011.

Many of the zoo's animals are taking advantage of the mild weather and enjoying time outdoors. The zoo's favorite indoor exhibit, Wee Play Zoo, is a cozy place to stop and play if you do happen to get a little chilly. When the temperature drops below 40 degrees, some animals will be moved to their indoor enclosures, but visitors can still see elephants, gorillas, penguins, reptiles, and chimpanzees in their indoor viewing areas.

Half-price admission tickets can be purchased at the zoo ticket office during regular zoo hours. Tickets can also be purchased at all Knoxville area Kroger stores and online at www.knoxvillezoo.org. Discounted admission tickets must be used by Feb. 28, 2011, and cannot be combined with any other promotion, discount, or coupon.

Knoxville Zoo is Knoxville's largest year-round attraction. Located off exit 392A from Interstate 40, the zoo is open every day except Christmas Day. Knoxville Zoo is nationally accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and is committed to the highest standards in animal care and well-being, ethics, conservation, and education. Currently, the zoo is open daily from 10:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Admission and ticket sales stop one-hour before the zoo closes. Next-day admission is free after 3 p.m. For more information, please call 865.637.5331 ext. 300 or visit www.knoxville-zoo.org.
