SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Zoo is showing its appreciation for first responders and medical personnel by offering free admission.
The offer was originally through September 30, but the zoo said Friday it was being extended though October 16. All doctors, nurses, police officers, firefighters, and EMTs across Texas can get into the zoo for free.
In addition to the complimentary admission, they will get a discount for friends and family. They can receive up to 50% off of up to four Standard Admission tickets on the day of their visit.
It's all part of Frontline Heroes Appreciation Month.
To get the full benefit, the first responders must show valid credentials at the front gate.
As an additional benefit, first responders visiting after September 17th will get to enjoy the first two weeks of Zoo Boo!, a non-scary daytime Halloween event.
