Fourth Fridays at the Zoo

This summer AARP members can visit the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport— the largest zoo in the state—for free on the fourth Friday of each month. The offer starts in June and runs through September. Just present your AARP membership card at the entrance.

On other days, AARP members can get a 15 percent discount on admission. Up to three guests accompanying an AARP member can get 15 percent off any time. And visitors who stop by the AARP booth at the zoo can get a coupon for 20 percent off one item at the gift shop.

This year for the first time, AARP will wrap up the summer promotion with an after-hours event at the zoo on Oct. 5.
