My family went to the Zoo last week and they were offering a season pass for $50. The cost for my family to get into the zoo is $23, so in two visits it pays for itself. Not to mention that it gets you into over 100 zoos and aquariums in united states for free and others at a discount.
I looked it up and there are about 20 or 30 Zoos and aquariums within a few hours of here and would make a great day trip for the family. I love to take my kids to the zoo and I personally love aquariums, I could spend days there and still not want to leave. I hate to spend money for gas at inflated prices but it is still a cheap way to spend the day with my family.
Just pack some food and some diapers and off you go to a great learning day for your kids. Even if it costs me a tank of gas and a few souvenirs, I figure for about $80 we can have a day to remember. At least my wife and I will, my babies might not.
