So You Want to See a Hippo Do the Macarena? How Much Will It Cost You?
Let's face it, the San Antonio Zoo isn't your average snooze-fest zoo. Here, you might just catch a hippo channeling its inner Shakira, or a lion cub practicing its roar on a unsuspecting tourist's shoe. But before you waltz in with dreams of dancing hippos (although, that might be a sight worth paying extra for), the question on your mind is probably: how much are San Antonio Zoo tickets?
The Not-So-Straight Answer (with a sprinkle of good news!)
The truth is, it depends! But don't worry, we won't leave you hanging like a confused sloth. Here's the breakdown:
- Standard zoo admission: This gets you access to all the amazing animals (hopefully none doing the Macarena... unless it's a fundraiser), shows, and exhibits. Prices start at $27.99, which is a steal considering the entertainment value of a rogue zebra escaping the enclosure (don't worry, it's never happened... probably). Children under 3 get in free! That's right, toddlers can unleash their inner zoologist for free!
Wait, There's More! (Because We Like Options, Almost as Much as Flamingos Like Pink)
- Become a Member and Get Your Zoo On All Year Long: For the price of a regular adult admission, you can become a Zoo Member. This grants you unlimited visits for a year, sweet discounts on concessions (because who doesn't need a funnel cake after watching a meerkat stand on its hind legs?), and that smug satisfaction of knowing you're supporting a good cause (while also getting your money's worth).
Pro Tip: If you're planning on visiting more than a couple of times, becoming a member is the way to go. You'll basically be a VIP zoo visitor, with bragging rights and everything.

"But I Want to Ride the Giraffe Carousel," You Cry (Dramatic, We Know)
Fear not, carousel enthusiast! There are additional fees for some of the rides and attractions, but they're typically pretty affordable. Just think, for a few extra bucks, you can experience the thrill of a not-so-majestic giraffe stampede (it's a carousel, people).
Alright, Alright, I Get It. How Much for the Giraffe Stampede Ride?
We can't give you the exact price of the carousel ride here (those pesky prices fluctuate more than a monkey on a sugar rush), but you can check the zoo's website or call them for the latest info.
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
