    Turn yourself into a Butterfly
    by TexasDave
    A nice sized zoo that is in the process of being up-dated and up-graded. They have a section where Australian lorries (a species of parrot) fly free and for $1 you can buy a small cup of nectar. You go into the enclosure, open the cup, and, Viola! there are half dozen lorries on your hand, arm, head, etc. looking for a drink.
    There is also a butterfly enclosure.
    Admission: Adults $8, children 3-11, $6.
    And there is a $1 off p/person coupon you can download from their website.

    This is one of the best zoos. Also, the surrounding areas are beautiful, especially Brackenridge Park, the Sunken Gardens (a Japanese-style rock and flower garden with huge goldfish), and the San Antonio River. The river originates at springs nearby.

    You might not consider a zoo to be a travel destination however this one is worth a day of your visit.
    The zoo is one of the most beautiful zoos in the world.

    San Antonio Zoo: A Bird Sanctuary

    Lots of birds
    by jinkoe
    The San Antonio zoo seems to be a more intimate zoo than most. While relatively large, the animals are close; so close, in fact, there is more than one opportunity to reach out and touch an animal or feed one (against the rules).

    One of the several highlights of the zoo is the rhino area. They may stink, but they seem to be pretty domesticated and willing to get close. They also appear to be willing to eat from the hands of zoo visitors.

    The main attraction, however, is the wide assortment of birds at the zoo. In one area, near the "peak" of the zoo, there is an environment perfect for birds to fly freely, and the netted-in setting allows for the feeling of the woods or jungle. Be careful; the birds will dive bomb mercilessly...just be aware of where you are sitting.

    Zoo is located in Brackenridge Park, just north of the downtown CBD.
    A great way to pass the morning, or the whole day. The childrens zoo area has been redone and is geared towards families with children under 5 yrs old. One of the best chlidrens areas I've ever seen at a zoo.

    Gen Admission $8 per adult

    Brackenridge Park, near the San Antonio Zoo, is a lovely urban park where you can see the headwaters of the San Antonio River. The river begins at a small spring. Another favorite attraction is the cable cars, which take the visitor across the park, affording a spectacular view of the city skyline and surrounding areas. Of course, it's also the perfect spot for a picnic, and for the kids to play.
