Brownsville, Texas— In honor of National Kids Day, Gladys Porter Zoo will celebrate “Kids Appreciation Day” this Sunday.
From noon to 4 p.m., children can create passports to fun, which will take them through several activity stations around the zoo. Last year, 3,000 children attended the event and officials hope for a similar turnout this year.
Some stations include face painting, a bike rodeo and a children’s touch pool with marine animals made by senior aquarist Patricia Scanlan.
“The pool is something new this year and should be very exciting for the kids,” said the zoo’s marketing director, Cynthia Garza Galvan.
Other activities include a bike safety station by State Farm Insurance and a health and wellness station provided by Valley Regional Medical Center. KVEO NBC 23 and the Brownsville Police Department are also sponsoring the event. Burger King locations are giving coupons to admit one child free with paid adult admission. Goodie bags are available for the first 1,000 children. For more details call the zoo at 546-7187.
