Wild About Savings: Can Your WIC Card Unlock the Gates to the Houston Zoo?
Ever stare longingly at a lion enclosure, wishing you could be on the other side (safely, of course!), but your wallet's looking a little more lion cub than majestic mane? Fear not, budget-conscious animal adventurer, because the Houston Zoo might have the key to unlock a roaring good deal!
WIC-ked Savings: A Discount Fit for a King (or Queen of the Jungle)
That's right, folks! The Houston Zoo offers a 75% discount on general admission for active WIC clients. Yes, you read that right, 75% off! That's more savings than you'd get from a meerkat selling tiny used sunglasses.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Free Stuff is Awesome)
Here's the real kicker: every Tuesday is FREE admission day for everyone at the Houston Zoo! So, if you're feeling spontaneous (and maybe a little peckish from all those free zoo snacks... just kidding, there are no free zoo snacks), you can swing by on a Tuesday and waltz right in.
Now, here's the fine print (because there's always fine print):
- For the WIC discount, you'll need to show your WIC card at the ticket booth. No Simba impersonations or convincing the zebras you're related will work (although, points for creativity!).
- There might be a limit on the number of discounted tickets you can purchase with your WIC card, so check with the zoo beforehand to avoid any hangry meltdowns at the entrance.
- Free Tuesdays are amazing, but reservations are required. Don't be that guy who gets turned away at the gate because they forgot to snag a free ticket online. Nobody likes that guy (except maybe the pigeons... they don't judge).
So, the answer is a resounding YES! With a little planning and your trusty WIC card, you can experience the wonders of the Houston Zoo without breaking the bank.
Now get out there, explore the wild world (without getting eaten!), and maybe even take a selfie with a majestic giraffe (just don't get too close... those things have long necks for a reason).
