What are people saying about San Antonio Zoo

Best day!
Best day! Great zoo! The aquarium is absolutely awesome. Restaurant a little pricey, but food very good.

Great family zoo with lots of animals
The zoo is a little confusing the way it is set up and the digital map is not good. The zoo is amazing. The people were all friendly and there was lots of staff to help. I saw many unique animals do that was cool. We went on dog day so there were dogs everywhere- some in costumes, some in strollers and some even in baby carriers. The enclosures are big and the animals seemed content.

Adult trip no children
We visit many zoos in different states and cities. The variety of animals here was great. Make sure to take quarters to feed to fish and ducks.

Great Deal
Passes were easy to use. I called each place I planned to visit first just to be sure I didn't need to make reservations first (due to COVID) and had no issues. It turned out to be a great deal for our family. We went to Sea World, the zoo, Witte Museum, Legoland Discovery Center, and the amazing mirror maze.
