FREE Admission on Thanksgiving Day at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo

Posted: November 4, 2015

Admission to Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is FREE for everyone on Thanksgiving Day! In addition to your Thanksgiving Day feast, head to the Zoo for a fun day with the whole family.

Free admission on Thursday, November 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Zoo and The RainForest is Cleveland Metroparks Zoo's special way of saying thank you to the community for another great year of support.

Make sure to visit baby Merah in the Bornean orangutan exhibit at The RainForest; she recently celebrated her 1st birthday! And, since Thanksgiving is all about the food, check the feeding schedule here to see some of your favorite animals munch on Thanksgiving themed treats throughout the day. The full feeding schedule will be posted in the Zoo's welcome plaza as well.

Visitors can warm up by the fire in Wolf Wilderness Lodge while watching the Zoo's pack of wolves, and beat the cold weather with complimentary heated transportation through the Zoo on Thanksgiving and throughout the winter.

Northeast Ohio's most-visited year-round attraction, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Located at 3900 Wildlife Way, the Zoo is easily accessible from Interstates 71, 90 and 480.
