I have been to many zoo's across the the United States and have never been as disappointed about a zoo in my whole life. To start the parking is a nightmare and very limited unless you arrive very early. They have San Antonio police in front of the parking lot who basically tell you too bad and to go find another place to park. The front ...

Not many different animals but wonderful landscape
The zoo didn't have many different animals then most zoos. It was not very big but the landscaping and feeling of the zoo was wonderful. They have tons of birds that are very colorful and unique that I had not seen at other zoos. They have a bird tent you can walk through if you are ok with birds flying all around your head and the poop threat.

Great Day Out!

I have been to lots of zoos and like to enjoy the different features of each one. Honestly, I hadn't heard a lot about this zoo, but we were in the area and wanted to let our 2 year old daughter have something entertaining to do. This zoo is great for little ones! Easy walking, a nice childrens' area and lots of concession stands make this a good choice for families with small children.

The zoo is a gem!

The San Antonio Zoo is great! It's got the standard zoo animals (lions, tiger, rhinos, giraffes etc.), but it's also got species that I've never seen anywhere else. Some construction going on, but it's nothing too big. Very nice place. Will be back!

Awesome visit
By BlueSkiesR4Ever, 09/02/08
If you take the time to visit the ENTIRE zoo, you'll notice that there are several themes here. Africa and Australia are just two of them. Although there is some construction, I found it very diverse. Children under age 5 will find the Tiny Tot Nature Spot a place they won't want to leave. They have great customer service and everyone we came in contact with were helpful and answered any questions we had with a smile.
EVERYBODY RAVING ABOUT THE "SA ZOO" . TOOK MY WHOLE FAMILY [MOM & GRANDKIDS ] FIRST OF ALL LONG LINES !!! STAFF IN THE FRONT VERY RUDE. NOT VERY MUCH TO SEE. IF YOU WERE TO BE A BIRD WATCHER YOU WOULD LOVE THIS PLACE! WE HAD TO WALK ALMOST A BLOCK IN ORDER TO SEE ANOTHER ANIMAL . KIDS OF ALL AGES WANT TO SEE ANIMALS THATS WHY ...
This is a nice and beautiful zoo but it is in AFRICA THEAME so their are only animals that you see in AFRICA. So ther are no peguins polar bears. There are tons of birds!! I f you are a bird person you would love this place but other than that they need more variety. Oh and the people at the front gate are rude! they had a rope up to contain lines ...
weekends are pretty horrible for finding parking, and the last time I went, the Brackenridge Park (Zoo is located in) was having a major car-break-in problem. their security patrols are inadequate. I would also add after taking out the little park and adding the baby area, the Zoo really made that place boring for older kids. They should have kept ...
I went to the zoo with my daughters grade school class. It was fun and the kids were accutally good. We saw every animal they could have ever captured. They kids had a good time. The prices of the food was OK and the price to get in was good. Over all I would recommend it for a days outing.
