It's once again time for free admission Fridays for a Bloomington entity.

The Miller Park Zoo each February offers free admission to their guests on Fridays and Superintendent Jay Tetzloff says it is always his goal to make sure a place like the zoo is affordable to the community, and this is a great way to give back.

COVID has had its impacts on the zoo but Tetzloff says despite those challenges, it was important for him, especially this year, to offer these free admission days, even if the public would have been sympathetic to the fact it would not be in their best interest to offer them.

COVID has created stressful times for a lot of us and Tetzloff hopes if you are looking for something to get your mind off the troubles of the day, stop by the zoo for an hour or two and he believes you'll find a little relief.

You can get more information about the Miller Park Zoo by finding them on Facebook. Tetzloff says that is where they send most of their information, but you can also find them at millerparkzoo.org.
