Do you need a New Year's resolution? Here's one even your kids will support. Repeat after us: "In 2013 I promise to take them to the zoo as often as they want."

And if you are today's lucky Big Gift Giveaway winner, those extra trips to Woodland Park Zoo with your little animals will not only be fun, they'll cost you less than handful of penguin food. In fact, they'll be free. Which leaves your family free to simply enjoy all this world-class zoo has to offer, from keeper talks to the historic carousel, exotic species to Northwest natives, special programs to the learning-rich and weather-safe Zoomazium. Your annual membership, a $212 value, will cover two adults and two kids and as many visits to the zoo as you can swish your tail at.
