Start off 2009 frugally at the zoo
Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence is ringing in the new year with free admission on New Year's Day. If you can't make it Jan. 1, the zoo is offering half-price admission from Jan. 2-Feb. 28. That's $6 for adults, $4 for seniors 62 and over, and $3 for children ages 3-12 (under 3 are free). Why go to the zoo in winter? The zoo says cold-hardy animals like snow leopards, penguins, bison, seals, and moon bears may be more active. For less hardy visitors, there's always the indoor exhibits at the African Pavilion and the Tropical America and Australasia buildings.
