"San Antonio Zoo Trip"

September 2025 NEW

Great parking it of the sun in the parking garage. The facility was clean along with the restrooms as well. The staff were courteous. Animals are very well taken care of. I look forward to Congo exhibiting at the end of this year! Will definitely be returning!

Tip: The souvenir cup is $18 and you can refill $2 and bring it anytime you go back!

"No animals/weeds"

August 2025

There were no animals out. No lions, tigers, empty and unkept areas. Water was very dirty and had an unpleasant odor. We were very disappointed our grandkids did not enjoy it...
We will never return here and we will not recommend this zoo.

Tip: Not worth the money

"Get a discounted ticket!"

July 2025

I was not thrilled about the price of a ticket so I got a discounted one on tripster, definitely would recommend! I took my 1.5 year old (she was free), she loved the aquarium and the birds. There was also a super cool childrens area that had music and bubbles!

"Tripster/San Antonio zoo"

April 2025

The zoo was awesome, plenty of shade and even indoor areas to relax and cool down. A few spots that were set up with misters as well! Over all… great experience. First started with such amazing prices from Tripster. No one ever beats or can come close to the price that I pay from Tripster. Tripster is an easy site and even easier to pay for!

Tip: Price and ease

"Super fun place for Kids."

March 2025

We have booked ticket in Tripster and saved $30. Tripster is hassle free booking for the trip. Zoo was good. My kid enjoyed fully. We have spent half day in the zoo. We had nice lunch there and spent some time in the play area. Took memorable photos.
This is one of the bucket list if you are planning trip in San Antonia.

"San Antonio Zoo review"

January 2025

Honestly cannot stress how well and easy going through Tripster was! Tripster was very user friendly… had everything that we were looking for and loved the platform. Secondly, once going to the zoos website their prices were almost DOUBLE that of Tripsters. It is insane to not go through Tripster!! Third, tickets are immediately given upon purchase so no need to wait or anything like that. I cannot believe that this isn’t used more! I will always check Tripster to see if they have the location that I am going to! Tripster has never let me down on ticket prices, ease, and overall great customer service.

Tip: Ease of the site! Saving money!
