The San Antonio Zoo is throwing a full-scale birthday bash on Monday to celebrate 110 years of wild fun and conservation, and they're marking the occasion by rolling back the admission price to just $11, taking zoo-goers on a nostalgic trip back through its storied history. According to FOX San Antonio, this day-long fiesta will showcase a variety of activities including a live DJ performance, education stations, and roaming entertainers, amidst the exotic backdrop of the zoo's wildlife.
Party-goers can expect a jam-packed schedule featuring DJ Mayhem spinning tracks from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Zootennial Plaza, while the Education Station will impart knowledge from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; the zoo is not just celebrating, but it's also educating, because who doesn't love learning with a beat? Adding to the day's festivities, the Animal Ambassador Team will present their furry friends in a special showcase at Ambassador Theater, as detailed by KSAT News.
History buffs and enthusiasts will be delighted to learn that they can snag these discount tickets by using the code "ZOOBDAY" at checkout on the zoo's official website - as if you needed another reason to celebrate. Adding to the fanfare, there will be a Happy Birthday Sing-a-long, led by Zoo School at 11:30 a.m., immediately followed by free cupcakes, because what's a party without a sweet treat? And if cupcakes aren't your jam, catch the North East School of the Arts bringing their A-game to the party with a performance at 4 p.m.
For those looking to go beyond zoo gates and add a dash of gastronomy to their wild excursion, the Zoo La-La! A Taste of San Antonio experience is also up for grabs, with tickets at a discounted $25, instead of the hassle of full price, just throw the same special code "ZOOBDAY" at checkout, and let the savings roll in, oh, and the flavor too - what's better than saving a few bucks and tantalizing your taste buds? The celebration is indeed a nod to the zoo's commitment to education, fun, and community engagement, having swung open its doors in 1914, the San Antonio Zoo has since played a pivotal role in not only presenting a kaleidoscope of animal species but also in conservation efforts to protect them, now that's something to cheer about and isn't that just the cherry on top of a century-long success story.
