As we mentioned last week, the Philadelphia Zoo's elephants will soon be moving to a new conservation center in Western Pennsylvania. Good for the elephants, who will have more space in their new home, but bad for Philadelphians who are awed by them, like the kid in this video:

Guess we know who Ringling Bros. is cheering for...

Having a craving to see the elephants before they move on (seriously, why are they still here again)? The Philadelphia Zoo is running a “Pay the Weather” promotion, which links the admission price to the mark on the mercury. If the temperature outside is in the 30's, you’ll pay $3; in the 40's, $4; and in the 50's, $5. They don’t mention the 20's particularly, but we’re guessing that would be $2. If it’s less than 20 degrees out (you masochist, you) you’ll pay just one smackaroo. These prices are good through the end of February; after that standard admission goes back up to $12.95. And don’t try to take your own Celsius thermometer with you; the official temp, in Fahrenheit, will be posted at the gate.
