What does "Two and Under free" mean to you?

ShellShockedMama

I'm trying to budget play group play dates and there's a petting zoo that is kind of expensive (at least for our area the local regular zoos are about half this price) at $23 per person, regardless of age. Kids Two and Under are free. So, if he's 2 years and 11 months, is he still free b/c he's still TWO? That's what I'm assuming it means. 

And don't tease me, what was left of my brain is being eaten by the current fetus.

2 years, 11 months = free.

3 years = $23.

Yes.  If the kids are under the age of 3 then they are free.

I usually take that to mean Under 2, but I see how it could be interpreted that way. Maybe call and ask? Or don't and say the kid is 2, because well, he's not 3?

ShellShockedMama

haha, he actually just turned two this month so we have time. Our budget is just *super* tight right now and if it's $46 for a PETTING zoo, I'll have to skip it.

quidditchcapn1120

under 3 years of age = free

IMO

ShellShockedMama

awesome, I'm glad I seem to be correct. I can handle $12p for a fun morning out with the kid. $23? notsomuch.

Spooko:

I'd be skipping it whether our budget was tight or not simply because that strikes me as an outrageous price.

 

That's what I thought too but I'm supah cheap. Our ZOO is $17 pp for an adult.

I would take a copy of a birth certificate with you, just in case.

If it says "two and under free" that means until they turn three.

"under two free" means free until they turn two.

That's a lot for a petting zoo IMO. I suppose it depends on the area, but our regular zoo is half of that and it has a petting zoo in it.

Two (year olds) are free AND those under two are free. You are two until you turn three- your two-year-old status does not expire the day after your second birthday.

I can HEAR you rolling your eyes at me ;-) hehe. I know it's such a dumb question but hey, I'm kinda dumb. The babies ate my brain!

Oh, it's farking expensive for here too, my eyes bugged out when I saw the price. If X was 3, NO WAY would I go. NO WAY. But I can rationalize $11/12 per person for a fun morning out. I'd never ever go once he turned three b/c I can go to the fancy zoo for $9 less.

He's not 3 yet, so he's free.

But if you're a resident you get two whole dollars off!  TWO DOLLAS!

That coupon link also has a buy two, get one free.

 

The C. Fl zoo is $13/person, two and under free, has a petting zoo, AND has a splash park.  It's pretty small for a zoo and is a bit of a drive for us but it's a nice way to have a day out the house.

We are members there. I love it. We go twice a week, at least. He loves the rooster that you're not supposed to pet. Hah.

I'm imagining hippos in little party dresses and monkeys sitting having tea:)

KB that's EXACTLY what happens. 

After hours, they switch to tequila.

I bet giraffes look hilarious when they are drunk.

This. 

Venus, have you been to Henry's Ark? I've been wanting to take ds, but wasn't sure if it was nice. Oh, and I agree with everyone else. Under 3 is free.

vflipo

What they said. Your kid is 2 for a whole year. Until he turns 3 he is free.

RayRay007

Two and under means under 3.

AquaFlowers

2 years and 11 months is still 2. So you're good to go.

JPinkman

I would have interpreted it to mean so long as not 3 yet, free.  However, I have noticed that some places are going with months now. 

I just booked a character lunch at Sesame Place and it specified 23 months and under - which is the first time I had seen that. 

Wine O Mite

Rio.

I say until they look older than 2 = free.

Boom.

delg23

OOO where is this petting zoo? I am in Central Florida. Can't figure out how to get my location to actually change on the bump. 

Edit: Never mind. I think I found it. And I misread your initial post. 23$ is still expensive!
