I didn't know if you all knew about the national "Friends of the Zoo" program. I never knew, until I went to get a season pass to our local little zoo here (which at the time was just a few cages with snakes, etc in it....not really a zoo yet). When we bought the season pass, this entitled us to also get into other zoos, some aquariusms, some nature centers, and some botanical gardens across the nation FREE (some zoos are discounted instead, but most are free). So in other words, for just 30 dollars here (its different all over), we (our whole family) were able to get into the Phillidephia Zoo (which is about as big as Six Flags) later on that year for FREE, or into an aquarium some where for free.. How cool is that?! So if you have a zoo nearby that you might like to visit, you might want to ask for this pass rather than paying to get in for just that day. If you are coming to the 2003 symposium and you already have this pass you can visit the large Atlanta Zoo. I think a group of people are going on Sunday afternoon. If you don't have a pass, you might want to get on from your local zoo, or buy one in Atlanta. I was really surprised to see that this pass also allowed me to go to other places other than zoos... that blew me away. :) Your friendly, neighborhood Wolfy [Posted in FML issue 4267]
