Thanks for the opportunity to win! I have only been to the zoo once and took my son but have not gotten to go since I had my daughter.. 9yrs ago lol. It would be very fun and exciting to win and go for the Halloween stuff. My question is.. Do I have to also like and share on Instagram to be eligible? I don’t have Instagram.
