Lowry Park Zoo Offers Discounts for Florida Residents

TAMPA, FL — Animal lovers itching for a chance to check out Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo at a discount are in luck if they happen to reside in Florida. The zoo has rolled out a limited-time offer on discount single-day admissions and annual memberships that lasts through Sept. 30.

The Florida resident special provides resident one-day tickets for adults at $19.95, which is $10 off the normal ticket price. Zoo fans hoping to buy memberships will find a 10 percent discount is available on those packages, too. In order to take advantage of either offer, a state-issued identification is required for adults.

“We’re introducing yet another way our guests can personalize their visits to our world class zoo,” Joe Couceiro, Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo CEO, said in a statement. “Our goal is to offer our visitors absolutely the best value on engaging and unforgettable connections to wildlife, as well as to each other.”

The 60-acre 1101 W. Sligh Ave. zoo features more than 1,300 animals in a variety of habitats. In addition to touring the park and watching animals in their habitats, visitors can directly interact with a number of its residents. For example, they can hold a lorikeet, feed a giraffe or even touch a giant tortoise.

Florida resident tickets can be purchased online at www.LowryParkZoo.org/FL or at the Zoo’s ticket windows during regular business hours of 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The offer ends Sept. 30.
