Grab your family, folks! The San Antonio Zoo is slashing admission costs down to a mere $8 for locals this weekend to celebrate Fiesta. A total steal for the residents of Bexar County who can show their ID or bring along a utility bill as proof of domicile. This discounted fare is open on April 27 and April 28, as reported by KSAT. Locals will be treated to the spectacle and marvel of the zoo's Festival de Animales, an event shining the spotlight on animal conservation, culture, and cuisine inspired by the rich flavors of South and Central America.
In addition to animal appreciation, guests will enjoy a weekend jazzed up by folklorico dancers, set to perform at scattered times between 10-11 a.m. and 1-3 p.m., and roaming mariachis from 10 a.m.–1 p.m., ensuring that you will start feeling the beat the moment you step in, according to KSAT. Not to forget, there will be DJs, including DJ Mayhem hitting the decks on the Great Lawn throughout the day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and DJ Fuzion mixing it up at the Zootenial Plaza from noon to 6 p.m.
The San Antonio Zoo ensures that while imbibing the festive culture, guests also soak in their ongoing mission of wildlife conservation and education. "Get ready to celebrate Fiesta in a wild way at San Antonio Zoo's official Fiesta event happening April 27-28," announced a media advisory, highlighting the zoo's intention to blend the celebrations with an educational twist on wildlife and the environment. For those who have other plans this weekend, fret not, as there are more Local Days marked on the calendar later this year, including dates in May, June, and beyond, as reported by FOX San Antonio.
Admission for this weekend's festivities is not only a bargain but also a freebie for members. Perhaps a few cocktails will add to the Fiesta vibe, and sipping them in the company of majestic wildlife seems like nothing short of an exhilarating plan. The zoo is open to all, with aim to make memorable experiences accessible to the masses, ensuring entertainment isn't just for the elite but for every San Antonio family, as stated by FOX San Antonio.
