If you’re an animal lover, here’s the perfect way to go wild on your birthday, courtesy of the Denver Zoo.
The popular attraction offers complimentary admission on your birthday, as well as a few more treats to make the day extra special.
The offer is only valid on your birthday and requires that you register in advance for the FREE ticket — click here. Plus, the birthday entry only applies to you, no family or guests. Given ticket prices range from $14 to $20 (during the summer months), it’s quite the birthday present. (FYI – Admission prices are lower from November 1 to February 28, ranging from $10 to $15.) A valid photo ID with your birthdate is required to redeem the ticket.
When you register, receive an admission ticket for the date of your birthday via e-mail. Bring the ticket to the box office or Boettcher Welcome Center on your birthday to receive your celebratory coupons, including:
FREE daytime admission
FREE souvenir button
FREE Jr. ice cream cone
FREE spin on its Conservation Carousel
10% off of a gift shop purchase
If you’re new to the Denver Zoo website, you will need to create an account, in order to take advantage of the celebratory offer.
Sure…it’s free as long as you give a donation at the end of the online ordering process. (I guess I’ll spend my 66 birthday next week at home.)
Michelle – A donation is not necessary — simply a suggestion. Just about every non-profit museum or attraction asks anyone making a purchase or transaction online, if they would like to support their cause via a donation. I just purchased tickets for “Wicked” and DCPA also asked if I was interested in adding a donation to my purchase. Apparently, you misunderstood the suggestion, as it’s not a requirement for the complimentary ticket. Happy 66th Birthday! -BKC
Can a kid register?
Crystal – Yes, kids and adults alike can register. We don’t see any age restrictions in the fine print. Kids will need their parents’ permission and assistance. The only potential issue we see is you have to register for an account, so we don’t know if one account can make multiple birthday reservations. -BKC
