Mayor Greenberg and the Louisville Zoo are pleased to offer special discounts presented by Humana for Grandparents’ Day on September 7, 2025, and Senior Sundays on September 14, 21, and 28, 2025. These events are designed to celebrate and honor grandparents and seniors, providing them with unique opportunities to enjoy the Zoo with their families.
During both Grandparents’ Day and Senior Sundays, guests can participate in a special scavenger hunt focused on the Zoo’s animal grandparents and their important role in conservation. Additionally, Humana will host the “Humana Hydration Station” from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Glacier Run classroom, offering free water and cooling towels to help guests beat the heat (while supplies last).

“The Louisville Zoo is such a special place for creating lasting memories,” said John Littig, Humana Midwest Region Medicare President. “Humana is proud to support opportunities like Grandparents Day and Senior Sundays, helping older adults enjoy meaningful time with loved ones in a vibrant, welcoming environment.”
