The Oregon Zoo in Portland is offering $13 admission Nov. 3–8 during its Fall Discount Days.

That’s half the regular price for visitors ages 12 and older and $8 off for children ages 2 to 11.

Two adults and two children ages 2 to 11 can visit for $52, down from $94 at regular prices. Children younger than 2 get in free with a paying adult and still need to be included in the reservation.
