Families looking for one last “staycation” before the start of the school year can head to Brookfield Zoo and receive free admission for children ages 11 and under on August 5, 6, and 7. (Admission for adults and parking fees still apply.)

For families who have not been able to visit the zoo’s seasonal attractions this summer, Free Kids’ Days are a perfect opportunity to see these exhibits before they close. Butterflies!, which features hundreds of North American winged wonders, will flutter away on September 2. On Free Kids’ Days, Brookfield Zoo is open from 9:30 a.m. to 6p.m. Admission for adults is $15 and $10.50 for seniors 65 and over. Parking is $10. For further information, visit www.CZS.org.
