Hospitalized children in San Antonio can see zoo animals up close in virtual Dream Night event
SAN ANTONIO Children with special medical needs will soon be able to see the animals at the San Antonio Zoo up close, all from the comfort of their own hospital room. The zoo has teamed up with the University Health System and The Childrens Hospital of San Antonio to hold a virtual version of Dream Night for hospitalized children that may not be able to visit the zoo. The children will meet Elmer the porcupine, Ravioli, the baby horned lizard and other animals on their virtual trip. We wholeheartedly thank the San Antonio Zoo and all of our community partners for all that they do in support of our pediatric patients.Over 248 zoos worldwide take part in similar Dream Night events, according to zoo officials.
