San Antonio Zoo has once again earned national recognition, securing a coveted spot among the Top 10 Best Zoos in the U.S. by Condé Nast Traveler. This is the fourth time in the last three years San Antonio Zoo has earned a Top 10 in the U.S., as mentioned by four different organizations.
This honor comes as San Antonio Zoo celebrates 111 years of conservation impact and visitor engagement in 2025. The recognition by Condé Nast Traveler follows a string of major accomplishments, including being named Best Zoo in Texas five times in the last six years by multiple organizations.
San Antonio Zoo’s recent projects, including a new state-of-the-art entrance and the opening of the Naylor Savanna, continue to enhance the visitor experience. Looking ahead, the highly anticipated Congo Falls gorilla habitat and The Ralston event center, set to open in 2025, will further establish the zoo as a leader in modern zoological innovation. With over 6 million followers across digital platforms, San Antonio Zoo has gained worldwide attention through viral campaigns like Cry Me a Cockroach and Timothy for President.
At the heart of everything San Antonio Zoo does are its pillars of conservation and education. The zoo is often recognized for its dedication and world-class focus on nature-based education and the conservation of a wide variety of species and places across the planet.
San Antonio Zoo remains committed to advancing wildlife conservation efforts, enhancing guest experiences, and engaging audiences of all ages through interactive and educational initiatives. As the zoo continues to innovate, its mission remains the same: to create a world where wildlife thrives.
