    The Gorillas were fun to watch and the giraffes. Good experience overall with a variety of animals to see

    Great zoo some exhibits...

    Danny_C, Mar 2026
    Great zoo some exhibits were lackluster compared to other zoos like the lions, giraffes and elephants. But monkey and birds were plenty.

    Disappointed

    Dennis_A, Mar 2026
    Too many empty exhibits. Some of the exhibits looked unkempt and unclean. All looking glasses were dirty inside and out. Water was so dirty we couldn't see the fish through the glass. We miss seeing elephants, tigers, lions, and chimpanzees. We did enjoy the birds and the aquarium.

    Zoo

    Sheila_H, Feb 2026
    The Congo exhibit is wonderful however there is so much construction and nobody there could give us any information either of what was going on, but hopefully next year if we come back it’ll be better The train is on the outside of the zoo so you really don’t see anything seems pointless.

    Just ok

    Emily_L, Jan 2026
    It was ok. A variety of birds and reptiles but not many mammals. The Gorillas were hidden from the public and the place was crowded.

    Totally Worth It

    Claire_E, Dec 2025
    Great savings I definitely recommend taking advantage of these promotions!! The experience at the park was amazing love seeing all the new exhibits especially the new Gorillas love love love

    Fantastic Zoo

    Pamela_C, Dec 2025
    Gorillas were awesome pulled a plant out of the ground and threw it at another one!!! Also the mail had his butt to the window playing with his toes!!! The Jaguar walking across the road above was awesome too!!! The Hippos even got out of the water! Eating lettuce right in front of us!!!💕

    A lot of improvement from the last time we went. Enjoyed the gorillas nice addition

    Robert_K, Dec 2025
    Very good we enjoyed the gorillas and the Christmas lights. The rineos were very good to see. All reptiles and birds were good to see.

    Tim_G, Dec 2025
    You spend 60 bucks for entry once you get there everything is dark. Can’t see any of the animals. Everything is shut down, very nice environment just should not be open at night. should rethink your management for opening and closing hours when daylight is available.

    Beautiful plentiful birds!

    Roberta_C, Dec 2025
    I would go to this zoo if you love birds. There are so many to see. I found the staff very knowledgeable especially the young man in the flamingo mingle area and the men in giraffe feeding area. I wasn’t impressed with the other animals— most weren’t visible or were sleeping. The viewing window were frequently very dirty so it was difficult to see much.

    No ice cream. Had many stops that advertised, but were closed. Memorial day holiday and 85 to 90 degrees hot.

    Melissa_H, Mar 2025
    It was good. The map was a lil confusing. The train ride is right outside the zoo. And it doesn't go thru the zoo.

    A Great Spring Break Outing

    Michelle_A, Mar 2025
    Thank you for the discounted ticket. It was considerably less than the San Antonio Zoo’s admission price. The zoo has beautiful & we enjoyed feeding the giraffes. We just wish there were elephants!
