SAN ANTONIO — Have you ever wanted to take your dog to the zoo to see the animals at the zoo?
You will have your chance on Sunday, Dec. 31, as the zoo announces "Dog Day at Zoo Lights." You and your 4-legged friends can visit all of the zoo animals together on that day.
The zoo will be open from 11a.m. to 9 p.m. for a day filled with enchantment and excitement for both you and your furry companion.
To make sure that everyone stays safe on that day, there are a few guidelines to follow:
- Dogs must have up-to-date rabies vaccinations
- Be kept on a non-retractable leash no longer than 6 feet
- Each dog must be accompanied by a designated adult, and have their dog ticket ($27.99)
The event has limited space, so only the first 600 dogs will be allowed entry.
"Dogs are cherished members of our families, and we can't wait for them to experience this enchanting event alongside the animal residents at San Antonio Zoo," shared Tim Morrow, President & CEO of San Antonio Zoo. "It will be a day of pure magic where dogs, animals, and humans alike can revel in enrichment and excitement, creating unforgettable memories for everyone involved."
The zoo says certain areas such as Discovery PLAYce, Riverbank, Starbucks, All Aviaries, Butterfly House, Education Center, indoor restaurants, and animal encounters, are excluded from the event.
