Real Traveler reviews for San Antonio Zoo

More information on San Antonio Zoo

Situated along the San Antonio River and next to Brackenridge Park, this zoo is considered one of the finest in America, housing more than 3,500 animals representing more than 700 species. The recently renovated "big cat" exhibit draws big crowds, as does the bird collection, which is one of the largest in the United States. Allow time for wandering around; even though there is plenty of directional signage, the exhibits are a confusing maze. The zoo offers weekly educational programs and is also available for private events. Call for further information.
