I’ve got another Great holiday experience giveaway today, but first I want you to give you a quick update about Facebook.
I love the SFM Facebook page. It’s such a great community, and I love the quick tips you share and advice you give.Β I’m so glad to have you there! At the same time, I need to let you know that Facebook has tinkered with their formulas yet again, and my posts are currently being seen by just about 20% of my followers. That means if you’reΒ only using Facebook to keep up with Sounds Fun Mom, you’re probably missing out on a lot!
The good news is there is an easy fix! Instead of just liking the site on Facebook, consider also subscribing to my emails, following me on Twitter, joining me on Pinterest, or just bookmarking the site and visiting when you have a chance.Β I usually post at least twice a day, and I know you’re bummed when you miss good ones. Sound like a plan? O.k. then!
What that out of the way, we’re on to the giveaway……
Today I have a family 4 pack of tickets to Zoolights at Point Defiance Zoo. This is one of our family’s favorite holiday traditions. In fact, as soon as December rolls around the boys start asking about going. We all have our favorite light displays, and it’s also great fun to get out of the cold and check out the aquarium.You can also take a ride on the carousel or even a camel, and see a scuba diving Santa swim with the sharks on special nights.
I will tell you it’s a good idea to wear LOTS of warm layers. Cold kids are miserable kids!
You can save a bit on your admission by buying your tickets in advance online or at Fred Meyer. They also have a neat offer that gets you daytime admission and reentry for Zoolights. As you’ve probably read here many times, I recommend buying an annual pass to the zoo unless you can take advantage of monthly free days for City of Tacoma residents. It’s a good chunk of change, but it pays for itself quickly (Zoo members get discounted Zoolights admission). We get ours with Christmas money from grandma and grandpa. You can check out Zoolights information here.Β You can see general zoo information here. For membership details click on, “Buy tickets & membership.”
Want to win yourself the family 4 pack of Zoolights tickets?
Here’s how to enter
- For a first, required entry, just leave a comment!
- For a second, optional entry, share this contest in some way (team up with a pal who will split the tickets if she wins!), and leave a comment telling me what you did.
- For a third, optional entry, subscribe to my emails, and leave a comment letting me know you did. Note that you’ll get an initial email asking you to confirm you really want them. You have to take this step before you’re a subscriber.
Remember that all entries must be left as comments on this post, and each entry must be a separate comment. I’ll draw a winner Friday morning, and I’ll need to hear from you within 24 Hours if you’re selected, so please leave an email you check. I hate to have to redraw, but I have to work with the deadlines of the venues and organizations participating in these giveaways, as well as my own. Thanks for understanding, and Good Luck!!
Would love to take my kids this year!
Thanks for the chance to win. I would love to take my grandkids to this.
