The Oregon Zoo is slashing prices next week, offering admission for a cool $12 a head. As reported by KPTV, animal lovers can enjoy this nearly fifty-percent discount from Feb. 24 through March 1, but there's a catch – you've got to snag your tickets online before you go.
We've all felt the pinch at the turnstile, but thanks to this limited-time offer, enthusiasts looking to peep at the zoo's latest furry bundles of joy can do so without breaking the bank. Standing out among the fresh faces are Dmitri and Luka, tiger brothers who've quickly become the zoo's main attraction, reported iHeart's JAM'N 107.5. And while you're saving a few bucks, more savings witness Timber and Thorn, the pair of orphaned bear cubs playing house at Black Bear Ridge.
But that's not all. According to the coverage by KBND, the zoo boasts a new rhino calf, born in the brisk days of December. The baby, whose appearance is dependent on some cooperation from Mother Nature, has been venturing outdoors on those above 45 degrees and rain-free days. It's a special sight, considering zoos are one of the few places where you can get up close with these endangered, horned giants without trekking to the African Savannah.
So if you've got an itch for a day among some of the planet's most endearing creatures, mark your calendar. The Oregon Zoo's week-long festival of deals is specifically tailored for families wanting to explore without expending every last dime. Before you herd the kiddos into the minivan, just remember, that tickets are only available via their official website, as KPTV emphasizes. This week of wallet-friendly wildlife is too good to pass up, especially when it includes bears, mentioned, that could give Goldilocks a run for her money.
