The weather may not be ideal but if you're looking for a free after-school activity with the kids, a Bloomington entity is concluding a yearly promotion for February.

Jay Tetzloff is the Superintendent of the Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington and says its free Fridays in February promotion is coming to a close this week with the last Friday in February. He explains this is an annual promotion they do as a way to give back to the community.

Tetzloff is frequently asked why they offer the free admission program during a month when the weather isn't always friendly for zoo visiting and when kids are still in school and while he would love to move the promotion to another time, he has to be accountable to the taxpayers of the community that help support them.

While the weather may not be the greatest, Tetzloff says there is still plenty to see and take in at the zoo. He says the indoor rain forest is a great place to just sit and relax and listen to the birds' chirp. He also says some outdoor animals might be more active this time of the year than in other parts of the year.
