Family Free Day
January 3, 2026

Sponsored by Tri City National Bank & FOX6

Enjoy a crisp winter day at the Zoo — outdoors or in! On this day, all guests receive free admission (parking and regular attraction fees still apply). See Eastern black rhinos Kianga and Zuri in the new Ladish Co. Foundation Rhino Care Center, and say hello to hippo Happy. Plus, help wildlife by recycling your holiday lights at the Zoo during your visit. Look for the collection bin in the U.S. Bank Gathering Place through January 11, 2026.
