The Bronx Zoo is one of several New York City institutions offering free admission to Bank of America / Merrill Lynch cardholders today
Bank of America, which received tens of billions of dollars from the federal government (er, taxpayers) in the bailout and its acquisition of Merrill Lynch, is the sponsor of the Museums on Us program, which offers free admission the first full weekend (Saturday and Sunday) of every month to Bank of America / Merrill Lynch cardholders. Just present a photo ID and a valid BofA/ML debit or credit card for one free general admission to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Bronx Zoo, the New York Aquarium, El Museo del Barrio, the International Center of Photography, the Museum of the City of New York, the New York Hall of Science, and the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. Just be sure to double check with the individual institutions to confirm the deal is in place (and that the museums are indeed open) before you go.
