Sanford's Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens will let veterans and service members in at no charge for five days, starting Saturday, Nov. 7, and running to Veterans Day on Wednesday, Nov. 11.
The zoo describes the offer as an annual tradition. According to its event page, it covers people on active duty, members of the National Guard and reserves, retirees, veterans and those who are no longer on active duty.
How to get in free
The free ticket is handed out only at the zoo's front gate. It cannot be claimed through online ticket sales, the zoo said. To qualify, visitors need to present a current military ID card or a DD214 discharge form.
Discount for family members
During the same dates, veterans can also buy tickets for relatives and friends at a two-for-one rate. The zoo caps that deal at six extra tickets per veteran: three paid and three free.
