If you live in Atlanta or Fulton County, or are an employee of one of those governments, you can get into Zoo Atlanta without breaking open your wallet this weekend.
All you have to do to receive free admission is prove you are an area resident or government employment.
Residents can flash a Georgia driver’s license; Georgia-issued voter identification; or water, gas or light utility bill.
Employees can show a city of Atlanta or Fulton County employee identification card.
Free admission for the zoo’s “city of Atlanta and Fulton County Family Days,” presented by PNC and supported by Kaiser Permanente, is valid for two adults and up to four children per party.

These events have been “extremely well-attended in previous years. Members and guests should expect a high volume of visitors in the Zoo on both days,” a press release said. “Guests are encouraged to arrive early and consider alternative transportation such as MARTA or carpooling, as parking will be very limited.”
General admission to Zoo Atlanta is typically $22.99 for ages 12 and up when purchased online ($25.99 at the gate), $16.99 for children age 3-11 ($17.99 at the gate), $18.99 for seniors 65 and over ($21.99 at the gate), and free for children 2 and under. Admission for college students is $21.99 (only at the gate) and free for active-duty, reservists, veterans and retired members of the U.S. Armed Forces who have a valid military ID.
Zoo memberships start at $99 per year and include free admission and other discounts.
The zoo is open every day except Thanksgiving and Christmas Day from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m, with the last admissions sold at 4:30 p.m.
