Families with young kids who live near a zoo should look into getting a membership. In my case, the closest zoo is the Toledo Zoo in Toledo, Ohio. For a family of four (two adults and two kids), the price tag for a single day admission is (2 adults x $10 + 2 kids x $7) = $34, plus $6 parking. That's $40.
For a typical family that goes to the zoo say, four times a year, that's $160 per year.
Conversely, the family membership would cost $71 per year. That's a savings of $89 per year, plus, certain zoos in other cities offer a 50 percent discount to their zoo if I show them my Toledo Zoo Membership. With free parking. In addition, the Zoo Membership is partly or fully tax deductible.
You just saved $89 by making a decision ahead of time. If you use it twice, you more than pay for it.
Sincerely,
