Talk to the animals

(David L. Ryan/Globe Staff)

Here's where all you Doctor Dolittles can do a lot, and tomorrow it's free. The Franklin Park Zoo invites you to "Free Day at the Zoo," where you can meet western lowland gorillas, wave to the African lion, wink at the tigers, look up to the Masai giraffe, and say hi to the zebra. Wear comfortable shoes because you'll get a workout exploring the zoo's 72 acres. The Stone Zoo in Stoneham is also free tomorrow (see the ZooLights item for venue information). Fri 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Franklin Park Zoo, 1 Franklin Park Road, Boston. 617-541-5466. franklinparkzoo.org
