I got a little bored at the zoo so we probably only saw just over half of it,but it was nice/average. It is over priced, but we got 1/2 price tickets because we are members of our local zoo and the San Antonio zoo is a particpant reciprocal zoo. The hippos were a unique feature. You can view them in... more

If you get the chance, check out the Snores and Roars Overnight Program at the zoo. Groups get a night time, behind the scene tour of the zoo. It's a completely different environment at night. My son is still talking about it months later. We love watching the hippos from the underwater viewing room. You can get an extremely close... more

We traveled over two hours to visit this retirement home for animals. There were hardly any large animals and they were always under cover. It was extremely crowed when we were there. No one was acessable to ask for directions or ask questions to. All in all I give it a thumbs down as a waste of time and money... more

My daughter and I went a few months ago, just for fun. It was HORRIBLE!!! There was an old man going around throwing stones at the animals in open exhibits. I reported him to the only 2 zoo employees I could find. One couple was holding food in front of a monkey, only to jerk it away and laugh when... more

I traveled all the way from New Jersey to San Antonio for a family vacation. One place I'm glad I did not miss was the zoo. It's located in Breckenridge park midway between the airport and downtown. Admission is very reasonable and if you are a member of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums, it's half price. Outside the zoo... more

This is a very average zoo with most of the animals very far away and lots of concrete. There is also lots of construction going on. On the pluys side have never been to a zoo with so many different types of birds. Would not make this the first thing to see in San Antonio but worth it for those... more

Long ago, I found that the San Antonio Zoo reminds me of an Asian Grocery Store: Practically any spot you stand, you can look around and see all sorts of exhibits. At nearly 700 species, this is one of the biggest collections of different sorts of animals in the world. What you can see here is quite remarkable: Both kinds... more

I've been to nicer zoos, but this one wasn't awful. It's February and part of the the Africa exhibit is still under construction. There were tons of monkeys and birds; they had one tiger, one giraffe, one zibra, one elephant, two lions, and three bears (those were the highlights). It wasn't an overly impressive zoo, but my 2-yr-old enjoyed it... more

I felt that this was a really diverse zoo in transition. I was surprised at the amount of birds, a lot more than I have seen in any other zoo. The directional signs to the zoo, to zoo parking and even within the zoo were hard to find. They have a new exhibit that is under construction. Part 1 is... more
