BPS Sundays

The first two Sundays of the month, February – August 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 also 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, February – August 2024.
