Zoo Knoxville invites guests to take a break from back-to-school shopping with a special tax-free weekend offer. 

Beginning Friday, July 27, through Friday, August 3, 2018, general admission tickets to Zoo Knoxville are $9.25 for visitors ages 4 and up, which is half off the regular adult ticket price.

Visitors can explore the zoo’s newest additions, Gibbon Trails and Langur Landing, in the Boyd Family Asian Trek and be immersed in a 360 degree experience with playful primates. 

The habitats are designed with multiple viewing levels that allow langurs and gibbons to pass directly over the heads of visitors or be eye-to-eye with them in a 60-foot-tall treehouse accessible by a suspension bridge. 

The new expansion also allows soaring views of Tiger Forest, home to critically endangered Malayan tigers.

The zoo also offers a daily schedule of animal encounters throughout the park, giving visitors the opportunity to meet animal ambassadors, watch training sessions and chat with keepers to learn about the animals who call Zoo Knoxville home.

“In keeping with our philosophy of being ‘wildly fun’, we thought it would be exciting to do something unexpected for Tax-Free Weekend,” said Tina Rolen, Director of Marketing and Communications.  “We would like to make a memorable outing with friends and family possible before everyone heads back to school.” 
  
This offer is valid for tickets purchased July 27 through August 3, 2018.  Tickets can be purchased at the zoo’s ticket window during business hours or online at zooknoxville.org.  Tickets may be used any time before December 31, 2018.  This offer cannot be combined with any other coupon.
