Meet lions, spot rhinos, and explore wildlife habitats at San Antonio Zoo, where family fun and conservation come together.

About this tour

Spend a day among remarkable wildlife at San Antonio Zoo, where family fun meets conservation. From close-up views of lions in Big Cat Valley to sightings of rhinos, the zoo offers plenty of ways to connect with animals and learn about the natural world.

Explore the grounds at your own pace and choose from experiences such as an animal-themed carousel or behind-the-scenes tours. The zoo’s two-acre Congo Falls habitat, opening December 13, 2025, is designed to evoke the lush, layered terrain of an African jungle and marks the return of gorillas to the zoo after more than 30 years. Some areas may close temporarily in inclement weather.

Your admission ticket includes all taxes, fees, and handling charges, and is valid for a visit on any day during 2025. Bring the family and discover San Antonio Zoo, where every visit supports a future for wildlife and the places they call home.

How the score works and rating distribution in San Antonio
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 3.3.
