The Louisville Zoo is pleased to offer special discounts for Grandparents’ Day on Sept. 8 and Senior Sundays throughout September, presented by Humana. 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, presented by Humana, 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. – 2 p.m. at the Glacier Run classroom, offering free water and cooling towels to help guests beat the heat (while supplies last).
“As a lifelong Louisvillian, I have so many fun-filled memories of spending time with family and friends at our beautiful zoo,” said Eric Bohannon, Humana Midwest Region Medicare President. “I’m excited that Humana can help share this experience with older adults who would like to celebrate Grandparents Day or Senior Sundays at the Louisville Zoo.”
Grandparents’ Day
