Akron Zoo offers Summit County residents the chance to score free tickets in September

The Akron Zoo is once again bringing back its Community Days for Summit County residents to visit for free.

During the month of September, the zoo is setting aside a limited number of tickets each day for Summit County residents to visit.

The zoo says this is a way of thanking residents for passing the tax levy that helps support the zoo.

County residents are limited to reserving up to four tickets online for a specific day of their choosing in September.

How to get free Akron Zoo tickets?

To reserve tickets, visit akronzoo.org/community-days online.

The zoo has been offering the Community Days tickets since 2001 when the first zoo levy passed in Summit County.

The Akron Zoo − open seven days a week − was founded in 1953.
