Nice Zoo

The San Antonio Zoo is not the biggest zoo you will ever go to; however, it is a clean zoo with a wide variety of exhibits. It is a great way to spend an afternoon.

The reptile and bird exhibits are real stand outs. On a hot summer day looking at the snakes in the reptile house can be a nice reprieve from the heat.

The kids will love this zoo because it has a nice petting zoo with a large playground attached. Additionally, there is a children’s learning zoo area where they can see a really cool ground hog exhibit both from the topside to the inside tunnel area. As well, many of the front animal exhibits especially the smaller primate section look like they are set in a cave-like environment. It can be fun running around and finding places to hide and to watch.

There is a cute train just outside the zoo near the front entrance that you can purchase a ticket for and ride around the adjacent park. (Not really for the older kids)

The zoo is in Brackenridge Park which makes having a picnic lunch for before or after your visit a great place to go.
