In celebration and appreciation of military heroes, Mayor Greenberg and the Louisville Zoo, in partnership with Kroger, are offering free admission to all active and retired military personnel and their immediate families on Veterans Day, Tuesday, Nov. 11.

Acceptable forms of identification include a U.S Uniformed Services ID Card, Retired ID Card, current Leave and Earnings Statement (LES), veterans’ organization card (such as American Legion or VFW), a photo in uniform, wearing a uniform in-person, DD214 or citation/commendation. Immediate family includes individuals living in the same household.
Along with free admission, military personnel and their families can enjoy exclusive discounts on Veterans Day, including 10 percent off purchases at the Zoo gift shop and 50 percent off food and drink at Zoo concessions.
Kroger’s partnership with the Louisville Zoo extends its commitment to honoring military veterans.
“Kroger is honored to support veterans through this collaboration with the Louisville Zoo,” said Kroger spokesperson Jessica Sharp. “It’s our way of expressing gratitude to those who have served our country.”
Active military members receive free admission to the Zoo year-round, and their dependents receive 10 percent off general admission when accompanied by active military personnel with valid ID. Military guests are encouraged to check with the leisure travel offices at their bases in advance of their visit for other available discounts.
