Complimentary Admission for Military All Veteran's Day Weekend at Naples Zoo
Naples, Florida (PRWEB) November 07, 2013 -- The military has a long history with animals including using animal names like the F-11 Tiger early supersonic aircraft, the F-22 Raptor jet, and the H-1 Cobra helicopter. Many tanks in other countries feature animal names including Britain’s FV101 Scorpion, Germany’s Leopard series, and South Korea’s K2 Black Panther. And South Africa has a fighting vehicle called the Ratel, the local name for the fierce honey badger. This Veterans Day weekend, Naples Zoo is providing complimentary admission to active and prior service military personnel so they can enjoy seeing the living creatures that inspired those wild names.
Naples Zoo’s offer for all active military and veterans runs all weekend long and beyond from Friday, November 8, 2013 through Monday, November 11, 2013. Military personnel just need to present current military identification or a membership card in a veteran’s organization and matching name photo ID. Plus, adult and child guests in their party will also receive $2 off regular Zoo admission during this time. It’s a great time for military and their families to come feed the giraffe herd, see the African honey badgers, and get close to the new cheetahs.
