The San Antonio Zoo is springing into action with its latest seasonal offering, 'Jungle Boogie Break,' a Spring Break festivity designed to attract families with extended hours and a gamut of entertainment options. According to KENS5, from March 9 through March 17, visitors can expect tunes from daily DJs, interactive animal chats, specialty food and drink options, and much more to keep the spring in their step.

And it's not just about the animals; zoo members receive the perk of accessing the new Member Lounge, perched atop the Rooftop Terrace, where they can enjoy complimentary cocktail samples, partake in various games, or unwind at the cash bar. Traffic around the zoo is predicted to surge, as neighboring schools including Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, and the Rio Grande Valley all share the same spring break schedule with San Antonio institutions, the Express-News reports.

The Jungle Boogie Break extravaganza includes the Giants of the Ice Age exhibit housed at San Antonio Safari and Adventure park, giving guests a chance to traverse back in time and explore life-size Ice Age creatures and indulge in themed activities. Additional information on the event and special online ticket offers can be found by visiting the KENS5 website.

To manage the anticipated traffic influx, a one-way traffic loop will operate on N. St. Mary’s Street from Hildebrand Avenue to Mulberry Avenue between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. during the event days. The goal, to simplify the zoo's entrance congestion, should make the event accessible from multiple entry points, according to the Express-News. Inside the zoo, attendees can look forward to additional activities including a theme slide, bounce house at the Giants of the Ice Age exhibit and roaming entertainers amping up the festivities. Visitors planning their wild escape to Jungle Boogie Break can snag their tickets through the San Antonio Zoo website.
