KNOXVILLE, Tenn.- School's out, summer's here and gas prices are through the roof! So celebrate summer with a "stay-cation." Stay in Knoxville and experience the largest year-round attraction for half price on Tuesdays in June.

Every Tuesday in June, Knoxville Zoo will offer Knox County residents half price admission. To receive the half-price discount, Knox County residents must provide proof of residency by showing identification at the zoo's ticket booth.
