The San Antonio Zoo is celebrating National Nurses Week and Teacher Appreciation Week by offering people in both professions free standard admission Monday through Sunday.

Beyond that perk, teachers and nurses can purchase up to four additional tickets at half price, according to zoo officials.

Teachers working in public, private, parochial and home schools are eligible for the discount if they provide a driver’s license and either a copy of a teaching certificate or a valid badge from their school. Nurses must show valid credentials or a nurse ID to receive the discount.

The teacher and nurse promotions can’t be used with any other discounts, and they aren’t valid for special events or experiences, zoo official said.
