We absolutely find our Cleveland Zoo membership indispensible and one of the most worth while travel expenditures each year. It is not that we necessarily love the Cleveland Zoo; the biggest reason is the approximate 150 other zoos across the country that your membership gets you into either free or at a reduced rate. I have now been a member since 2003, and would probably have a pretty difficult time listing every zoo we have visited as a result of our membership.

The Cleveland Zoo is about to experience a major change this year; the long awaited opening of the African Elephant Crossings exhibit. This in turn will hopefully not only increase attendance to the zoo, but also create a surge in membership. As a result, the Cleveland MetroParks Zoo apparently is sending out mass mailing to try and entice new membership. For some reason the name and the address were slightly off, so we received an invitation to join for a reduced rate. If the name and address would have been correct, they would have realized we already have a membership.

Therefore, since we have no need for the code, which does not appear to be unique, nor a one time use code, I thought I would share it with my readers.
