The summer sun may be out in full force throughout the state of Texas, but that doesn't mean we can't still have a snow day to help us cool down when the temperature gets a little too high. On Saturday, August 22, TXU Energy will be hosting a special winter wonderland event at the Houston Zoo, where children will get the chance to enjoy mountains of the fresh white power all morning long! If you've been searching for ways to keep your kids cool and entertained this summer, "Chill Out at the Houston Zoo" is a fun event your little ones are sure to enjoy!

Cold, sparkling snow will be spread across two fields for the Houston Zoo's Snow Day event. One field will be designated for small children, while the other will be open to bigger kids. From 9 a.m. until noon, children of all ages are welcome to play in the snow-filled fields and enjoy traditional snow activities, such as creating snowballs, building snowmen and making snow angels. This event provides a great way to escape the heat for a day and have fun with the entire family making memories that won't be forgotten.

Entry into this special event is included in zoo admission. Tickets can be purchased online today. Get yours now and be sure to also check out the Chill Out Animal Enrichment Schedule online for a chance to see your favorite creatures enjoy icy treats!
