FAMILY PRIDE GOES TO THE ZOO
On Sunday, May 18th, Family Pride OKC will be going to the zoo. We will receive a group rate if we have 20 or more. The prices will be Adults $4.50, Kids (3-11) $2.25, and children under 3 free. We will meet at the gate at 1:00 pm, after we get in the gate you may choose to break off into small groups or go as one big group. We will reconvene at 4:00 pm at a picnic area to relax and share a meal together (map will be provided at the gate with picnic area circled). The zoo has places to buy snacks and they have a restaurant that closes at 5:00. A suggestion might be to bring a picnic dinner. The gates and exhibit buildings close at 4:45, but all visitors are welcome to stay until dusk. There are many activities to enjoy at the zoo: some include Morphis Virtual Simulator, Cost: $3.00 per person, per movie, Rock-Climbing Wall, Cost: $2.00 per person, Safari Tram, Cost: $2.00 per person good for unlimited rides all day, same day only (Children 2 and under are FREE), The Endangered Species Carousel, Cost: $1.00 per person, Children's Train, Cost: $1.00 per person, the aquatics show, Cost: $1.00 per person age 3 and under free, and other activities.
