Polly's Purple Penguin Pointe Passport brings kids together with the penguins at the Little Rock Zoo.

Kids and their parents can take a trip around the world without leaving home with Polly’s Purple Penguin Pointe Passport at the Little Rock Zoo. The trips continue until Sept. 30.

Children ages 12 years and younger will receive a passport at the entrance to the Little Rock Zoo with paid gate admission or membership. After seeing the penguins and their many friends, each child will get a stamp for his or her passport when leaving through the Zoo’s Safari Trader Gift Shop.

The Zoo is open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for children 12 and under. There's a $2 parking fee. 

The purple adventures continue at Purple Cow Restaurants -- 11602 Chenal Parkway and 8026 Cantrell Road in Little Rock and 1490 Higdon Ferry Road in Hot Springs -- when trip-takers bring their stamped passport to any location in Arkansas for a free kid’s meal with the purchase of an adult meal. Polly, the restaurant’s spokescow, will be making black-and-white shakes for guests to honor her South African penguin friends and handing out coloring sheets for visitors to complete while waiting on their meal.

Polly’s Purple Penguin Pointe Passport offer expires Dec. 31. Tax and gratuity are not included, and the offer is for dine in only.
