🌨️❄️ Snow kidding… it’s a frosty day in Panama City! Due to the rare Gulf Coast winter weather system that might be gracing us with a touch of snow (yes, SNOW! ❄️), our Visitor Center will be closed today to ensure the safety of our staff and visitors.

Stay warm, stay safe, and if you snap any pics of this once-in-a-lifetime weather in paradise, tag us or share in the comments! 📸
