The Oklahoma City Zoo is always trying to get people to visit. This is more true during the cold winter and hot summer months. In January and February, everyone can enjoy the zoo for free every Monday. This winter has been pretty mild so I encourage everyone to take advantage of this deal.

Tips for enjoying the zoo during the winter:

• Bundle up-remember to cover those little ears and hands
• Take a picnic-pack some delicious soup or hot chocolate in a thermos
• Take it slow-sit on a bench in the sunshine and talk about what the animals are doing, you could even have your child draw pictures of what they observe
• Keep it light-don’t try to see all the animals, ask your child to choose 2 animals-remember you aren’t loosing money-it’s free!
