Staying in town for Thanksgiving and wondering if tomorrow would be a good day to visit the zoo.

All the free museums and attractions will be busy, but don’t let that stop you from going. Going to be nice out tomorrow.

bike or take mass transit. There will be no parking and it will be a clusterfuck.

The zoo requires guests to have timed entry passes. And it looks like they are all gone already!

I've gone down to the other museums on the Mall on Thanksgiving and didn't think they were crowded at all. That might be a viable option!

The zoo has evidently never run out of tickets yet, only parking spots. Even if you have to drive, just park at your nearest metro with parking and take the metro to Cleveland park and walk.
They also aren't timed, you just go at any time during the day indicated on your ticket.

I just used the site to get 5 passes for tomorrow, it is fine.
They also have paid parking passes left.
Not sure why you couldn't find a pass unless you were trying to get tickets for Zoolights?

Probably just user error!
