Free Admission for Our First Responders

September 12, 2025

9:00 am - 4:00 pm

Free Admission for Our First Responders

On Friday, September 12, the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens will honor the brave men and women who keep our community safe.

As a heartfelt thank-you, all first responders will receive free Zoo admission for the day. This offer is available onsite only—please present proof of employment at the gate to redeem. This offer includes law enforcement officers, EMTs/paramedics, and fire department personnel.

To make the day even more special, we’ll welcome members of our local fire departments, law enforcement agencies, and other first responder teams for special appearances between 9:00 and 10:30 a.m. Guests can meet our community heroes, see some of their equipment, and enjoy fun giveaways for kids.

Join us for a day of appreciation, family fun, and unforgettable moments as we thank those who serve on the front lines every day.
