BPS Sundays
The first two Sundays of the month through December 2024.
Franklin Park Zoo is excited to participate in the City of Boston’s BPS Sundays program to expand opportunities for Boston Public Schools students and their families that can spark curiosity, deepen connections to the natural world, and create lasting memories.
Students enrolled in Boston Public Schools may visit for free with up to three family members on the first two Sundays of the month through December 2024.
Please note: BPS tickets can only be used for daytime general admission. They cannot be applied to the evening Boston Lights event.
If you have any questions about the online reservation process, please contact us at 617-989-2076 or at znemembership@zoonewengland.org and our team will be happy to assist you.
When visiting, please present either a printed reservation or show the electronic reservation on your phone at the Admissions booth. If an online reservation is not made, BPS students and their families will need to show a school ID or their personalized BPS e-mail, which BPS will send each week before each month’s program.
While you’re at the Zoo, be sure to stop by during the scheduled chats.
For fun activities that you can do at home before or after your visit, check out our Kid’s Corner.
We look forward to seeing you on your visit!
