Veteran’s Day at the Columbus Zoo
Military personnel must show military ID, and veterans must show proof of service. The offer is only available at the Zoo’s entrance.
There are plenty of indoor attractions if it’s a chilly day at the Columbus Zoo for Veterans Day! Pop in for a tropical vacation at Discovery Reef and Manatee Coast.
Visit Bob & Evelyn’s Roadhouse with animals from Down Under. Meet the gorillas in the Congo, check out the reptile building, and explore Asia Quest and the elephants.
Many animals thrive in the cold weather. The polar bears swim year round in pool water maintained at a comfortable (for them) 40-65 degrees.
Please note that there is still a $10 parking fee per car for non-Zoo members. The Zoo is open from 10 am – 5 pm.
