Father's Day is "Hard Hat Day" at the Zoo

Let Dad know you love him with a trip to Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Dad receives free admission on Father's Day, June 21 from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. (the Zoo is open until 7 p.m.). Whether you have Dad to thank for your eyes, nose, or just some really bad jokes - the Zoo is a great place to show your appreciation!

The Zoo is doing more for Father's Day. We're calling it "Hard Hat Day at the Zoo." Heavy construction vehicles will be on display for all those machine-loving people in your life. And Lowe's will be sponsoring a "Build and Grow" birdhouse-building project.
