We belong to the ASTC Travel Passport Program (by way of a membership in Lake Superior Zoo). If you travel around in different states, it might be worth a membership in something near you that is part of the ASTC program & allows you to visit other attractions for free or maybe 1/2 price. In this case, our admission was free. Our membership in the closest zoo to us also gave us 1/2 price admission at our zoos around the country (and a few in Canada too). As a retiree, it makes it much easier for us when we travel.
