I have been to the St. Louis and D.C. zoos. They were free, and amazingly, the best zoos I've ever visited!
Many zoos with regular admission offer discounts and free days to locals, military, veterans, teachers, etc. Columbus Zoo, for example, offers free admission on certain holidays, like President's Day. In my state, Fort Fischer Aquarium in N.C. offers free admission to all on MLK, Jr. Day. Check with your local zoo, particularly on Facebook, to see what they offer.
Membership to the AZA also qualifies you for free admission and/or discounts to a large selection of zoos and aquariums in the U.S.
