THE TOP FIVE REASONS TO VISIT THE ROGER WILLIAMS PARK ZOO IN THE WINTER
 
  1. It’s a Bargain!
Roger Williams Park Zoo offers half-price admission from January 1-February 28, 2025.  (Members do not need advance tickets; all other visitors must purchase tickets online).  Roger Williams Park Zoo is open Thursday-Monday from 10 am to 4 pm. 
 
And, the Zoo will be free on Friday, December 27th, but the Zoo family encourages every visitor to share the holiday spirit with the community by bringing non-perishable food items to benefit the Rhode Island Community Food Bank between 10 am – 3 pm. Cardi’s s Furniture & Mattresses is generously donating a truck and staff to help collect all food items and deliver everything to the RI Food Bank.
 
  1. Enjoy The Peace
A winter zoo visit is usually much quieter, so not only will you have great views of your favorite animals, but you’ll be also able to spend more time enjoying the sights too.  And you will likely get a great parking space too!
 
  1. It’s Healthy
Make a start on your New Year’s resolutions and get your steps in. Getting some fresh air and surrounding yourself with nature is hugely beneficial to your mental and physical well-being. One full lap around the Zoo is at least 3500 steps. 
 
  1. Animals Are Active
January and February bring the perfect weather to New England for visiting the Zoo and seeing animals outside, enjoying nature's cooler temperatures.
 
Snow leopards and red pandas are just some of the animals who love the colder weather and it’s easier to see our red wolves without all the foliage. 
 
  1. Warm up! 
If it gets too chilly, take a break in the warm Rainforest and hang out in the Amazon -like exhibit, where you can get up close with some fun and fascinating creatures.
