FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Cash in on Zoo Savings!

Exclusive WAVE3.com on-line offer provides a special discount

The Louisville Zoo and WAVE3.com have teamed up to create an exclusive online winter offer—a discounted Frequent Fun Pass (Zoo Membership) to the Louisville Zoo that includes some special bonus incentives.

Now through February 28, 2011, log on to WAVE3.com and save $5 when you purchase a new Louisville Zoo Frequent Fun Pass (membership).

As an extra incentive, the first 500 new members to take advantage of this special offer will receive a bonus $10 certificate to Shiraz Mediterranean Grill. Note: This exclusive on-line promotional offer is reserved for new memberships only.

A Louisville Zoo membership is a Frequent Fun Pass—it provides a full year of unlimited free admission to the Zoo during regular Zoo hours. This season, members can share a vast array of fun and educational experiences with their families at a terrific value: over 1,700 animals, 134 acres of lush settings, rides, attractions and more than 20 special events a year. The bear habitat of the Zoo’s newest exhibit, Glacier Run, is set to open in April.

The Family level membership allows admission for two adults and up to four of their children ages 3-18 in the same household. Children age 2 and under are always free. The “Family Plus” membership is the best value package for larger families with more than four children or grandchildren or extra regular guests. Grandparents may purchase either level for themselves and their grandchildren.

Zoo memberships help the Louisville Zoo preserve and care for threatened and endangered species as well as support critical conservation education programs. For more information, visit our website at www.louisvillezoo.org or call 502-459-CATS (2287).
