I grew up going to the Lincoln park zoo in Chicago which is an amazing zoo. My kids love going to the San Antonio zoo..but a lot of the animals look sad and not very healthy. It's kindof depressing!

And very big with a lot of animals! This is by far my favorite zoo I have been to. They offer military discounts, too. (I believe it was $2 off the admission price).
Visited this zoo on 5/19 with my 3 kids, mother-in-law and husband. The cost to get in wasn't bad, even without the military discount it would have been very reasonable. Big place! It also seemed like the layout was a little weird...we did a lot of back-tracking and missed seeing a lot because of it. Thought it seemed a little...

I...

Although this zoo is improving, it still isn't as good as the zoos in Houston, Brownsville, and Ft. Worth.
Nothing special compared to other zoos. I actually liked the Austin Zoo & Dallas Zoo better. The train ride is actually outside the park so you ride that before or after your zoo visit but they do have a very reasonably priced burger joint there at the train station but just beware that they don't provide lids or straws for...

Like this place, we usually go there with the family to enjoy a day observing animals. Kids love it.
We really enjoyed visiting this zoo. We went here a few years ago, and the African animals section seems much better than in the past. When we went this last week, there were at least four or more animals that were not on exhibit for one reason or another. I was a little disappointed at this. Prices for the restaurants...
