will be visting to Cinci zoo next month.

if you buy a pass from the FTW Zoo you get discounts at other zoos around the nation.


The Cinci zoo is 50% off the ticket price.

tiny wrote:Lemme get this straight, Al (and anyone else that thinks the zoo is expensive.) Two bucks for a pop is high priced? Where do you buy your food and drink? Wait till you have to drag your kids to a REAL tourist trap. Wizards, Komets, Freedom, McDonalds, BK....all charge a couple bucks (at a minimum) for a drink. Nothing new or out of hand there.

Cmon. Buy the pass. I guarantee you piss away more money than that in a month. Get the pass, the kids love it, and you're not out anything more for the rest of the summer. If money really IS tight, I can think of much more expensive ways to waste an afternoon..let alone potentially five, ten or more....with lots less fun. Pack a cooler, get the pass, and you can enjoy bologna sandwiches and thirty cent Faygos ice cold in the parking lot or at a Franke Park picnic table...then return to the zoo with the already-paid-for pass. Cheaper than a month's worth of cover charges to see your band....or a week's worth of beer, for some.

A no-brainer. Just my .02.


$2 For a pop in a pop machine in Fort Wayne just seems ridiculous because we arent a tourist trap, had I of known it was going to be that expensive I would have just got one down the street for half that (as someone stated).

When I was living in Orlando, $2 for a pop in many locations would not suprise me because you can be in and out of a tourist area with out knowning.

I guess I am just cheep.

Well, if you were not a captive audience, i.e. in the zoo, then the pop would be $1.00 or $1.25, but it's just like going to a Komets game, or a Wizards game or to the theater. You're captive in that place, and it's private business space, so the prices are going to be elevated. The price for 22 ounces of soda at the movies is like $3.50. . .and they put ice in it. (about 6 ounces worth)

Hey, you asked. The law is the reason. . .::shrug::

I'm not saying it's right, just that it is what it is.

no matter where you go, unless there are free refills, ask for no ice.

Either bring your own drinks or don't buy a freaking soda.
