Evidently El Nino is playing rollercoaster with temperatures and rain. Pity the poor Dallas Zoo penguins. One day they’re happy as can be with the chill and wet stuff. The next day they’re slathering on sunscreen.
But don’t feel too sorry for them because the Dallas Zoo has kicked off its Penguin Days special in honor of the formal-feathered birds. Until 4 p.m. on Leap Day … yup, there will be a February 29 in 2016… admission is a mere $5 per person.
Now, that’s a big deal bargain. It’s way more than 50% off for kids and seniors (normally $12). As for adults, it’s only an itty-bitty one-third of the normal admission ($15).
Sure, the parking is still $8, but the penguins can only do so much. Who knows? This might be the perfect opportunity to try out the DART Red Line. It takes you straight to the Dallas Zoo Station.
