Those looking to get the kids out of the house while school is canceled may want to drop the little animals off at the San Antonio Zoo.
Children under 12 will get free admission Tuesday in celebration of the Alamo City’s first —and perhaps last — snowfall of the season, according to zoo officials.
Those who brave the cold will receive a free cup of hot chocolate from the park’s Beastro Restaurant to stay warm. The attraction also will put on a snow day-themed presentation, “How Animals Survive Winter,” at the Discovery PLAYce from 2-4 p.m.
The San Antonio Zoo will operate on a modified schedule on Tuesday, opening at noon and closing at 5 p.m.
Although San Antonio residents woke up to their yards covered in snow, temperatures are expected to reach nearly 50 by 3 p.m., which should clear roadways of lingering frozen precipitation, according to the National Weather Service.
NWS projects temperatures will again drop below freezing overnight, however, which could cause icy conditions for Wednesday morning’s commute.
