Free Day

Just a friendly reminder —especially to those of you with kids — that the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo (and the Rainforest!) is free of charge on Thanksgiving, which just happens to be today. That makes it a great alternative for those of us who are not particularly into the holiday spirit, or not sure what to do until an evening family commitment. Take the kiddies — or just yourself for that matter ­— and go say, “Hi!” to the polar bears. They’re the only ones equipped to handle these minor polar vortices anyway. The zoo is open today from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Sam Allard)
