Pandas don’t hibernate. Why should you? Zoo Atlanta announces the limited-time Pandas and Parkas Promotion, with a cure for cabin fever and a special invitation to enjoy the sights and experiences of the wintertime Zoo. From January 5 through February 29, 2016, guests will enjoy general admission of just $15.99 across all categories.
The discount presents the season’s best value on Zoo general admission, which is regularly priced at $22.99 for adults and $17.99 for children. Daytime Zoo admission remains free for Zoo Atlanta Members and children under 3.
Winter highlights include the always-tropical Scaly Slimy Spectacular: The Amphibian and Reptile Experience, which offers daily indoor views of some 100 animals, including four American alligators basking under a 35-foot waterfall. Other opportunities include the Zoo’s newest indoor animal experience, Wonders of Wildlife: A Live Animal Show. Shows run on Saturdays and Sundays through February 14.
Very few of the animals at Zoo Atlanta – and none of the Zoo’s mammal species – actually do hibernate, and many of the Zoo’s animal residents will be out and about to welcome guests even on chilly days. Examples include America’s only twin pandas, Mei Lun and Mei Huan, who may be seen year-round; Idgie the red panda, an adorable native of the Himalayas; and Loki and Thorthetanuki, in the only zoo in the U.S.wherethisspecies is found. Guests should also be on the lookout for African elephants, red kangaroos, Chilean flamingos, zebras and many more. In addition to Scaly Slimy Spectacular, indoor exhibits include naked mole ratsandKomododragon.
The Pandas and Parkas Promotion isvalidonly from January 5, 2016, through February 29, 2016, and is available online at zooatlanta.org or at Zoo Atlanta Admissions. The discount may not be combined with any other offer or promotion.
All animal activities are weather-permitting and may be subject to change due to weather conditions or temperatures below 40 degrees. Ask any Zoo Admissions associate for updated information on animal exhibits.
