The Oregon Zoo in Portland offers a full range and menu of activities. Check out the website for kids’ events, walks, seminars and volunteer opportunities.
Enjoy the Oregon Zoo for a fraction of the cost with $4 admission per person.
The zoo’s popular Second Tuesday admission-discount program, sponsored by the Walmart Foundation, offers a reduced admission price of $4 on the second Tuesday of each month, a discount of more than 65 percent from regular zoo admission. (As always, children 2 and younger are admitted free.)
Visitors who ride MAX light rail or a TriMet bus to the zoo avoid parking fees and receive an additional $1.50 off their already discounted Second Tuesday admission with proof of ridership. For fare and route information, call TriMet customer service at 503-238-RIDE (7433), or visit www.trimet.org.
The Walmart Foundation is proud to sponsor the Oregon Zoo’s Second Tuesday program. Together, we’re helping families save money on fun, family-friendly activities and create memories that will last a lifetime.
