In reply to Rebecca McCray. Thanks for reading, Rebecca! Oregon Zoo admission is discounted for people who receive government benefits such as WIC and TANF. In normal times, the zoo has monthly senior days when admission is discounted, but I don't think they're doing this program during COVID.

I don’t recall you stating if there is a senior discount? I have been once to the Portland Zoo, and really enjoyed myself. Good information.

In reply to Wayne W Walls. It's such a lovely zoo! Though to be honest if you want to have a picnic at the Oregon Zoo you'd better wait for better weather. ;)

Yay, so glad to help, Laura!! I’ve breastfed so many times at the Oregon Zoo – I know pretty much all the best spots. 😉

A breastfeeding spot! That's where I'll be hanging out on Monday. Bless you for the insight!

In reply to Jenni LeBaron. Yes - going in the morning during the summer is even more important, when kids are out of school and animals get hot in the day. And like you mentioned, these tips are great if you have kids or are going with other adults!

These are brilliant ideas! I especially love the tip about checking the Portland School District calendar before making a trip. I would definitely prioritize being able to enjoy the zoo on a less crowded day. I also think the tip about going early is smart. I always struggle to find parking at the zoo in the afternoon so finding an easy spot takes alot of stress off my visit. I also never thought about the fact that the animals are more likely to be visible first thing in the morning before it gets hot, so I’m going to keep that in mind for my next summer visit.
