The Texas Travels Awards named San Antonio Zoo the top zoo in Texas just months after international publication Blooloop named the zoo the best in Texas and the second-best in the U.S. for its animal welfare, education, and conservation.
“We are honored once again to be called the Best Zoo in Texas as well as one of the best in the country,” said Tim Morrow, president and CEO of San Antonio Zoo. “We have had an unrelenting focus on improving the guest experience at San Antonio Zoo, and this is an incredible testament to that work. The only thing that may be more exciting is our future -- a new entrance, plaza, and world-class gorilla habitat will soon be added to the zoo in the next couple of years.”
