Zoo Atlanta offering Pre-K discount

ATLANTA (AP) - The Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning and Zoo Atlanta are teaming up to honor the state’s Pre-K program next month.

Zoo Atlanta officials say they are offering discounted rates for Georgia’s Pre-K classes from October 6 through 10. Self-guided field trips will be offered for $9 per person, and chaperones will be admitted for free.

Officials say special activities are planned including costume characters, storybook readings and a bird show.

Interim Department Commissioner Amy Jacobs says she is very appreciative of the partnership and looks forward to seeing many classes at the zoo.
