4.5 Hours at the Zoo for Half Off General Admission

We call it Half-Day for Half-Price, but it’s so much more than that; visitors get four-and-a-half hours to enjoy the zoo, its exhibits and amazing animals during a special pre-Zoobilee opening on Friday, July 18

Tacoma, Wash. –  What’s greater than a mid-summer bargain? How about a mid-summer bargain that includes tigers, polar bears, harbor seals, walruses, red wolves, penguins, sharks, stingrays and all manner of other animals?

That’s what Pont Defiance Zoo & Aquarium is serving up on Friday, July 18. It’s called Half-Day for Half-Price, but it’s a bit sweeter than that. Half-Price General Admission gets visitors four-and-a-half hours of SHARKMANIA!, stingray touching, polar bear, tiger and meerkat watching and my, oh my, so much more. 

All for special general admission prices of $4.25 for tots, $6.50 for youths, $8 for seniors and $8.50 for adults. Children 2 and younger get in free.

July 18 visiting hours for the general public are 9:30 a.m to 2 p.m.

The zoo closes early so The Zoo Society can prepare for its annual gala fundraiser, Zoobilee.

The zoo resumes regular summer hours, 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., on Saturday, July 19.
