San Francisco Zoo free weekday June

San Francisco Zoo & Gardens is offering free weekday admission in June for children 11 and under when they come with a paying adult, according to local coverage published June 1. The promotion runs from June 1 through June 30 and applies only on weekdays. The zoo’s website says it is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with last entry at 4 p.m. Local News Matters reported the offer as part of a summer savings roundup for families in the Bay Area. ### Who qualifies for the June offer? Children ages 11 and younger qualify for the free weekday admission, Local News Matters reported on June 1. The offer requires a paying adult with each qualifying child, and Sing Tao USA, citing the zoo announcement, reported that one paying adult can bring up to five children for free. (localnewsmatters.org) The promotion applies on weekdays only, not weekends, and runs for the full month of June. That means the eligible dates begin Monday, June 1, and end Tuesday, June 30. ### What does a family still have to pay? Online ticket buyers are charged a $1 fee per ticket, including free children’s tickets, Sing Tao USA reported. (localnewsmatters.org) Families who buy at the zoo do not pay that online processing fee, the outlet said. General weekday admission listed by Funcheap for 2026 is $29 for adults ages 12 to 64, $24 for seniors 65 and over, and $20 for children ages 2 to 11 before the June promotion is applied. (localnewsmatters.org) The same listing says parking in the main lot is $13 on weekdays. ### What did the zoo say about the promotion? (singtaousa.com) Cassandra Costello, the zoo’s chief executive, said the June offer was intended to give children more chances to visit as school lets out for summer, according to Sing Tao USA’s report of the zoo announcement. The outlet quoted her as saying the zoo wanted to keep providing opportunities for children to “learn and explore.” (sf.funcheap.com) The San Francisco Zoo & Gardens says on its website that it is home to more than 1,500 animals across 100 acres on the Pacific coast.
