The San Antonio Zoo is a great family day out. It is reasonably priced and worth every penny. We have been going for the last four years and each year it is a diffrent experience. They are open year round, which is a huge plus on those long breaks with nothing to do. The children’s area is brand new 2005 and has a lot to offer, including a shallow swimming area with sand bar. I recommend this place to anyone with or without kids.
