Fathers Receive Free Admission at the Birmingham Zoo in Honor of Father’s Day

In recognition of Father’s Day, fathers get in free at the Birmingham Zoo on Sunday, June 21 with the purchase of a child’s full-price admission (one free redemption per paid admission). During the day, guests are invited to feed the lorikeets in the newly renovated Schaeffer Eye Center Lorikeet Aviary*, ride the new Wild Slide*, take an aerial journey 20 feet above ground on the new Jane H. Brock Soaring Safari Zipline Adventure*, experience Predator Zone, watch an alligator feeding, and more.

Guests are also invited to see the Red Diamond Sea Lion Splash Show, which showcases new behaviors from the Zoo’s California sea lions and features an even closer look at this aquatic species. The Schaeffer Eye Center Wildlife Show, another favorite, is an exciting and educational narrated presentation that includes a variety of animals trained to exhibit their natural behaviors. Visitors will have a unique opportunity for an up-close encounter with some of the Zoo’s most fascinating animals.

Other activities include feeding the giraffes at the Kiwanis Giraffe Encounter*, learning about the African bull elephants during the Boma Encounter, seeing beautiful butterflies in Granny’s Butterfly Garden, cooling off in the Splash Pads, participating in a pelican feeding and much more. Plus, with extended summer hours (9am–7pm Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday) now through August 10, there is even more time to explore all the Zoo has to offer.
