Spend Father’s Day at the Zoo

June 14, 2018

Dad deserves a Zoo day! On Sunday, June 17, fathers enjoy free admission with purchase of any regularly-priced child’s or adult’s general admission ticket. Regular price general admission tickets may be purchased online and in-person at Zoo Atlanta Admissions. Dads may also enjoy the Zoo free if accompanied by a Zoo Atlanta Member (up to two dads per Membership).

How to enjoy this discount: Dad doesn’t need a ticket! It’s only necessary to purchase the single regularly-priced child’s or adult’s general admission ticket for the family member who will accompany him to the Zoo. If Dad’s being treated to a visit by a Zoo Atlanta Member, he’ll just need to be accompanied by the Member on arrival.

The Father’s Day offer is valid only on Sunday, June 17, 2018; not valid with any other discount or promotion.

Happy birthday, Ozzie!



This Zoo dad is in a legendary class all his own. At 57, Ozzie the western lowland gorilla is the oldest living male gorilla in the world. He’s a father, grandfather, and great-grandfather with descendants at Zoo Atlanta and AZA zoos around the U.S. As one of the original pioneers of the Zoo’s landmark Ford African Rain Forest, his legacy is one that has defined the history of an internationally-renowned gorilla program that has shared insights on his species’ social behavior and biology with the world.

Ozzie will receive special 57th birthday surprises at 10:30 a.m. at Gorilla Habitat Two.

Zoo Atlanta is located at 800 Cherokee Avenue SE, Atlanta GA 30315 • 404-624-9453 (WILD).  Zoo Atlanta is on Facebook, Twitter,Pinterest,Instagram, and YouTube.  You can follow along with the fun by using Hashtag: #OnlyZooAtl or #ZooAtl.
