The San Antonio Zoo has been named the best zoo in the Lone Star State by the Texas Travel Awards, the park’s second consecutive year to win the title and its fourth time in five years. The recognition is just the latest for the San Antonio Zoo. In 2022, online entertainment and attraction publication Blooloop ranked it as the second best in the nation behind the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington, D.C. The San Antonio Zoo’s conservation efforts contributed heavily to its high ranking.
