Riga Zoo Offers Discount to Visitors With an Animal Name in Their First or Last Name
Riga's national zoological garden is offering a large ticket discount today to visitors whose first or last name contains an animal's name. An identity document must be shown at the ticket office.
The zoo in Riga, Latvia's capital, is offering a large discount today, during its "Animal Days" weekend, to visitors whose first or last name contains the name of an animal. To receive the discount, visitors must show an identity document at the ticket office.
How to qualify
If the animal name in a person's first or last name is in another language, the visitor must be able to prove its meaning. For example, they can present a dictionary entry or another reliable source.
The zoo encourages people to look carefully into the meaning of their first and last names before coming. The animal world also includes birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects and other creatures, so more unusual matches in names are possible.
Longer opening hours
The zoological garden says that during the "Animal Days" weekend visitors will be able to enjoy a stroll through the zoo until 7 p.m.
The source does not state the size of the discount, so visitors can find that out at the ticket office or from the zoo itself. The offer applies to today.
