Folks 60 and over are invited to reconnect with the Toledo Zoo at Senior Discovery Days, planned throughout September and October.

Senior Discovery Days will include free admission and special events each Tuesday. Each week will bring a new adventure at the zoo, from guided tours of the Works Progress Administration (WPA)-era buildings to live music to bingo.

There will also be free health screenings from MedCorp and flu shots provided by Kroger. (Flu shots are $25 and may be covered by insurance). In addition to Tuesday events, seniors will enjoy free parking in the AnthonyWayne Trail lot, free fresh-brewed coffee and a mini-muffin in the Zoo’s North Star Trading Post® each week day.
