Go to the zoo often. During the week the zoo is usually less crowded and with a membership, you don't have to feel the need to plan an entire day around a zoo trip. Go for a few hours or the whole day. Pack a picnic lunch so as to not over pay for food at the zoo.

Use your passes. Special exhibits cost extra money, but if your membership came with passes, you can get in for free. Make sure you check in first to ensure you get a spot at the show during your visit.

Go to the zoo year round. Many people who live in colder climates don't think to go to the zoo in the winter. Zoos often have zoo light shows, hot cocoa days or other attractions to draw in crowds when visitors are few. Layer up and enjoy hot chocolate with your family at the zoo.
