Discount Days at Gladys Porter Zoo
Gladys Porter Zoo will have special discount admission prices for Out-of-Rio Grande Valley residents on November 6th, 7th, and 8th. Guests can rack up some impressive savings with 60 to 75 percent off regular admission rates and see the new zoo babies that have recently debuted, including a baby orangutan, baby capybaras, baby flamingos and an adorable baby red-flanked duiker.
The admission rate will be $6.00 per adult and $4.00 per child for those living outside of the Rio Grande Valley.
When purchasing tickets at the gate, guests will need to present proof of residency, such as a driver license or utility bill, to receive the discounted rate. Only one person per family or group will need to present proof of residency. Visitors living outside of the United States may present a passport or other identification to satisfy this requirement.
