In honor of their 50th anniversary, the Central Florida Zoo offers discounted admission and celebrating the zoo’s history this weekend.
In a charming nod to the founding year of the zoo, all adult tickets will be priced at $19.75 with children’s tickets at $16.75, a princely 20 percent off their typical prices. The zoo will also debut a historical gallery in the Wayne Densch Discovery Center building featuring some of the zoo’s most significant moments and behind-the-scenes footage.
Visitors who have pictures or videos of their past experiences at the zoo may
also submit them to the gallery for a chance to be featured as part of the zoo’s ongoing story.
Friday-Sunday, July 4-6, Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Gardens, 3755 W. Seminole Blvd., Sanford, centralfloridazoo.org, $19.75.
