3.00Nice zoo Great ape Congo falls was great. You must pay online and they charge an extra $5.00. They don't take cash or credit cards for admission on site. Stupid!!
Waste of money

1.00Spent $150 on tickets only to have many areas Closed off to public. No one said anything about it at the ticket office when we purchased the tickets there on site. Felt like they could've warned us that many places were closed. I felt cheated outta my money and my family DID not enjoy it all all except for the gorilla. Dont bother going u less u call ahead and ask what areas are closed and if its worth price they charge! Refund should be issued for this waste of time and money and minimal animals available to view.

3.00The 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.
Amazing

5.00We had a great experience at the San Antonio Zoo! The zoo is very clean, well organized, and easy to wall around. It’s a perfect place for families, but also fun for adults. We truly enjoyed our time and would definitely recommend visiting while in San Antonio.
Just ok

3.00It 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

3.00I felt like this zoo needs a facelift and some cleaning. They had Christmas lights up and they looked so old and dirty. The animal enclosures looked run down too. I also took a train ride. I feel like this experience cost way more than it should have. $20 a person and $7 a person for the train ride. They have a brand new section for the gorillas and that looked cool but I feel like they focused on the new area and neglected the other animals.
A lot of improvement from the last time we went. Enjoyed the gorillas nice addition

1.00You 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.
