The
third Saturday each
month used to be free admission for all, but the OHS has changed it as
of 2009 to two children admitted free per one paying adult. The
third Saturday of the month offers special programs on these
days. The facility does offer free admission during Statehood Day
(Oregon's birthday) and once or twice during the rest of the year; see
web site for schedule.

Once
upon a time when I was still in high school and working at the zoo, the
Washington Park Zoo (as it was called) used to offer free admission on
the second Tuesday of the month after 4:00pm (we would actually close
the gates are reopen them at 4:00pm--those lines were long!).
They discontined this in the late 1990's and now offer a discounted
admission of $4 on the second Tuesday of
every
month. The zoo does charge $2 a car for parking, but if you ride
the MAX
and
show proof of ridership, they'll knock off $1.50 from the price.
So,
ride the MAX, show your ticket, and pay only $2.50.
