Birmingham Zoo to offer half-price admission on MLK Day

On Monday, Jan. 18, the Birmingham Zoo invites the community to give back to those in need in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. By donating any non-perishable or canned food item in support of the Zoo’s United Way Canned Food Drive, visitors will receive half-price admission.

Ticket prices will cost $8.00 (plus tax) for adults, $7.00 (plus tax) for senior citizens 65 years and older and military, and $5.50 (plus tax) for children ages two to 12-years-old. Children under two are free. Guests must bring one item per person to receive the discount.

On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Birmingham Zoo guests can enjoy a Children’s Zoo Keeper Chat at 1:30 p.m., participate in a pelican feeding and watch a sea lion training demonstration. For an additional cost, guests can take an inner tube ride on the Wild Slide, as well as take a train and carousel ride.
