A Hike At the Zoo
If you are a senior and have walking issues, it's a long walk. My husband had his chair walker, it was hot, and we only did half of the zoo. It's a beautifully constructed zoo and enclosures, but hard to walk it all. We really needed transportation to get back to the car.

Family Geraway which was much needed
Beautiful place for a family to visit. Lots of shade and places to rest. Animals were in every place.

San Antonio trip
I only used this web site because I got cash back points from my credit card. But it was a great experience. Buying the tickets we wanted for vacation was simple. Using the app was even easier. The web site sent a promt the day before with our tickets. When we arrived at the venue, they just scanned the tickets in my phone. I will definately use Viator again.

Kind of disappointing
I do like to visit zoos and other cities to see what different animals they have. This zoo could have been pretty good except so many of the exhibits were closed, under construction, pardon our dust. We went on a Sunday afternoon, it was hot, but they have cooling stations which is nice. And they do like a good bird. There are so many birds.

Disappointed!
We were looking forward to visiting this zoo, but it was totally disappointing. I realize it was hot, but almost EVERY animal was completely gone! We paid $155 for 4 admission and a scooter. We wondered around for awhile and got fed up and left. A huge waste!. ,

Zoo experience
Got the wrong dates for the zoo but since I did not make it that day I was able to scan my ticket the next day at the gate with no issues. Parking was free for the zoo
