Gladys Porter Zoo will have special discount admission prices for guests across and out of the Rio Grande Valley in three upcoming weekends.
“Guests can rack up some impressive savings with 60 to 88 percent off regular admission rates and see some of the Zoo’s youngest animals, including a baby orangutan, baby flamingos, a baby zebra and an adorable baby colobus monkey,” zoo officials said in a news release.
This weekend admission for Brownsville residents will be $2 per adult or child. The second weekend, from Sept. 13-15, admission for residents from the counties of Cameron and Willacy, as well as Matamoros, will be $6 per adult and $4 per child between the ages of 2 and 13.
The last weekend, which will be next month from Oct. 11-13, admission for out-of-Valley people and residents from the counties of Hidalgo and Starr, as well as those from the cities of Reynosa and Nuevo Progreso, will be $6 per adult and $4 per child.
For those seeking to purchase tickets at the gate, zoo officials said guests will need to present proof of residency, such as a driver license or utility bill, to receive the discounted rate, adding that only one person per family or group will need to present the proof of residency.
Visitors living outside the country may present a passport or other identification to meet the requirement.
