CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Texas State Aquarium was having its special Community Day on Sunday, a chance to experience everything they have to offer at a discount price.
Community Day, sponsored by different companies, happens about six times a year.
Everyone can get into the aquarium for just two dollars, and kids below two-years-old also get in for free.
Tom Schmid, the President and CEO of the Texas State Aquarium, says having Community Days like this are a great way to help Corpus Christi residents experience the wonders of sea life.
Tickets will be available on-site only on Community Day, as none will be available for purchase in advance or online.
All the guest's admission money goes back to the aquarium's operations like animal care, staffing, and rescue programs.
“Dollar Days” will no longer be offered at the Aquarium, but Community Days will continue to provide guests an opportunity to experience the Aquarium several times a year at a special discounted rate.
Additional Community Days at the Texas State Aquarium will be held in December.
“We’re thankful for the support of H-E-B, Whataburger, NavyArmy CCU, Union Pacific Foundation, and our other partners which make these community-oriented events a possibility", said Texas State Aquarium President & CEO Tom Schmid.
Many families cannot afford to pay the usual fee to enter the Texas State Aquarium, so Community Day allows families to enjoy all the amenities at a more affordable price.
