All purchases must be made by July 1, 2011; however, considering there are only 3,000 sets of tickets available, I would jump on this as soon as possible. After you purchase your selected items, you fill out and send in the official redemption form.

Maybe there is a chance they would let it slide, but it looks like you also must be a resident of one of the States they have a store to participate. I was hoping to possibly be able to take advantage of this deal later this summer when we head to Cape Cod, but since you have to mail-in a form to receive your tickets, it is just not feasible. I am also never a fan of the types of offers that restrict how many tickets they send out. Depending on the response, you end up purchasing all the products and then it is a gamble whether you are one of the first 3,000 recipients or not.

Here is a copy of the official rules as well.

Cleveland MetroParks Zoo 15% Off Membership

1 Comment

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. To receive your discounted membership, go to ClevelandZooSociety.org and use discount code A241 to receive your 15% discount. The following is a quick summary of the discounts:

– Family Plus $92 $78
– Family Select $127 $108
– Family $72 $65 Via Phone or At the Zoo; $61 Online Only
– Individual Plus $57 $51 Via Phone or At the Zoo; $48 Online Only

Offer expires July 11, 2011.
