CINCINNATI — Starting today, visitors to the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden will receive discounted admission through March 8.

The discount comes as part of the zoo’s Penguin Days, sponsored by U.S. Bank. Through the end of February, visitors will also be able to see Penguin Parades on Saturdays and Sundays at 11 a.m. The event will also run on holiday Mondays.

This is the zoo’s last year for the Penguin Parades as the flock ages.

 “I’m sad to see the Penguin Parades end, but our flock is aging and ready to retire. Marching has always been voluntary, and the birds that consistently want to walk will still do so this year,” said Cincinnati Zoo director Thane Maynard.

There will be other animal encounters available over weekends, allowing visitors to learn about otters, insects, wolves, keas, and African painted dogs.

“There’s still a lot to do and see at the Zoo on cold days, and the discounted admission makes a winter visit even more attractive,” said Maynard. “I could spend all day in the award-winning World of the Insect!”

Other indoor habitats include Birds of the World, Manatee Springs, Night Hunters, Jungle Trails, Reptile House, Dragons, and Discovery Forest.
