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.
