Kids Free at the San Diego Zoo
You'll have to wait until October for this deal, but let's face it - by this point we're all pretty skilled at waiting patiently.

This popular event will let your little ones run wild with more than 4,000 animals on over 100-acres. In the meantime, check out their website for too cute virtual animal cams, or buy tickets to support the Zoo and Safari Park this summer before you save big in October.
