BALTIMORE, MD – As the calendar changes, so do the prices at the Maryland Zoo. Starting on Thursday, January 2nd, and continuing through the end of February, general admission to the Zoo drops from $33 to just $24.
The lower admission reflects reduced visitor and animal activity during the coldest months of the year. Along with the admission price drop, the Zoo limits the days it is open to Fridays through Mondays each weekend. The admission price includes unlimited rides on the Zoo’s popular train and carousel (weather permitting).
“The variety of animals you’ll be able to see each day depends on the weather conditions. We make every effort to give our guests an amazing experience, but the health and safety of the animals are always our top priorities,” said Maryland Zoo President & CEO, Kirby Fowler.
Animals such as the prairie dogs, African penguins, Amur leopard, cheetahs, lions, and otters are likely to be visible in the colder weather. Visitors may also enjoy animals like chimpanzees and giraffes in their indoor areas and informative question and answer sessions with animal keepers.
