“There’s still a lot to see and do at the Zoo on cold days, and the discounted admission makes a winter visit even more attractive,” said Cincinnati Zoo director Thane Maynard. “Animals that enjoy colder temperatures, like the red pandas, will be outside, and indoor habitats give visitors a chance to warm up and spend time learning about manatees, birds, nocturnal animals, insects, reptiles, and more!”

Animal encounters and chats will be offered on Saturdays and Sundays and will feature winter-hearty animals.  Meet-a-Creature experiences will also be offered on the weekends.

“We won’t have penguin parades this year due to changes in the colony, but penguins will still be featured in chats.  You can always visit them in the Birds of the World building,” said Maynard. “On warmer days, you can visit African and little blue penguins in their outdoor habitats.”

Highlights of Winter Discount Days:

  • Discounted Tickets: Buy online and get tickets for as low as $6 for children and $9 for adults.
  • Winter Wonderland: Experience the zoo as a winter wonderland with lots to do and see, including indoor animal exhibits and special activities.
  • Wellness Benefits: Enjoy the health benefits associated with being outside and in a garden setting.
