Visit The Zoo!

I was reminded today by Rookie Mom’s to check out the zoo. I know, I know, nothing new right? But, how long has it been since you checked it out? I realized my daughter is 19 months old and never been! When Emily was 2 (she is 5 now), we had a 1 year membership to the zoo for $89 (Atlanta Zoo) It cost $16 per adult, so especially if both parents go you have more than paid for the membership in 3 visits. Membership cost is tax deductible, plus it usually includes free guest passes, so when a stay at home mom wants to go with a friend it is a free trip all the way around!

When you have a membership, even when the money is tight, you have a great trip to take. Atlanta zoo does things such as Christmas lights and “Tastes of Atlanta”, so there are fun things to do all year long! For older children they even have a “spend the night at the zoo” a few times a year.
(Membership Invitation only)

Finally, and this was my biggest selling point, when you go and your toddler is exhausted after only an hour or two, you can leave not seeing everything and not feeling like you did not get your money’s worth. It is a great way to escape your own zoo, and see a few monkeys that aren’t your kids! 🙂
