Second Tuesday Zoo
Discounts Renewed
The Walmart Foundation has renewed
its sponsorship of the Oregon Zoo’s Sec-
ond Tuesdays program, which offers visi-
tors a chance to see the zoo for the reduced
price of $4 per person on the second Tues-
day of each month.
“We’re very grateful for Walmart’s con-
tinued support, which ensures that more of
our community can be inspired to take ac-
tion for wildlife,” said Teri Dresler, interim
zoo director.
“Together, we’re helping families save
money on fun, family-friendly activities and
create memories that will last a lifetime,”
said Matti Havener, senior vice president
and regional general manager for Walmart.
