Thanks so much garnine for posting this great Canadian event on the forum.

This Friday, you can take your kids to the Toronto Zoo for FREE!

Today’s Parent will be hosting a KidSummer Day event on Friday, July 24th which allows all parents and guardians to admit up to two kids per adult into the Toronto Zoo for free. Free admission applies to kids 12 and under and only when accompanied by an adult who has paid for an adult admission of $21.

Regularly, admission for children aged 3 and younger are free and children aged 4 - 12 costs $13 each. For each adult with two kids who decides to attend this event, you’ll be saving $26 and spending only $21, compared to a regular total of $47.

Calling all kids… It’s a Kidsummer Day and with a little over a month to go before school starts, we thought we’d do something special and invite you to go WILD at the Zoo! With so much to see and do, you’ll want to bring the whole HERD out for this event. Children 12 and under, receive FREE admission when accompanied by an adult (2 children max per adult).
