Most Massachusetts students (except for college students) will be on the April school vacation next week (the week of Apr. 21-26). The kids will be out of school, and if you’re looking for something inexpensive, entertaining, and educational to do as a family, you may want to consider heading to Springfield and checking out all of the furry friends and more at The Zoo in Forest Park & Education Center.
Thanks to the Highland Street Foundation, the zoo will be offering a free admission day on Wednesday, Apr. 23 from 10 am – 3 pm. It should be noted that there will be a parking fee as parking is managed by the City of Springfield and is $3/in-state and $5/out-of-state plate, cash only. Of course, there is no parking fee if you enter the park on foot.
