Come nose-to-snout with a thundering T. Rex! Lock eyes with a Velociraptor! Stand in the shadow of a Triceratops! Around every corner, a larger-than-life dino encounter is waiting — and every single one is a photo op the whole family will be talking about long after summer ends!

Don't wait — Zoorassic Park is only here through Labor Day weekend. Once these giants are gone, they're gone. Make this the summer your family goes back 65 million years!

When the sun goes down, the dinosaurs really come alive! On select nights this summer, San Antonio Zoo stays open late from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM for Dinos After Dark — an after-hours twist on Zoorassic Park where all 22 massive animatronic dinosaurs roar to life under lights, fog, and music.

There's more than dinos waiting in the dark: a DJ, fire dancer, stilt walker, roving paleontologists, interactive dinosaur experiences, and family photo ops around every corner — with something new to discover at every turn.

A new attraction has arrived! Check out Congo Falls! Congo Falls is San Antonio Zoo's most ambitious and immersive habitat to date, marking the return of gorillas to the zoo after more than 30 years. This two-acre, state-of-the-art habitat is designed to replicate the lush, multi-level terrain of the African jungle, providing an enriching environment for the gorillas and an engaging experience for guests. At the heart of Congo Falls is the Mays Family Silverback Peak, a revolutionary 70-foot-tall gorilla tower—the first of its kind globally. This structure allows gorillas to climb from their open-air habitat to an observation area atop the cliff wall, offering them panoramic views of the San Antonio skyline and the zoo's event center, The Ralston. The habitat features expansive roaming areas, interactive browsing gardens, and naturalistic elements such as waterfalls and climbing structures, all designed to stimulate the gorillas' natural behaviors and provide guests with multiple vantage points to observe these magnificent animals. During the construction of Congo Falls, an unexpected historical discovery was made: the excavation unearthed limestone from the very quarry that supplied stone for the construction of the Alamo over 300 years ago. This finding deepens the connection between the zoo and San Antonio's rich history. Congo Falls is more than just a habitat; it's a testament to the zoo's commitment to conservation, education, and innovation. By bringing gorillas back to San Antonio in such a groundbreaking habitat, the zoo offers an unparalleled opportunity for guests to connect with these incredible animals and learn about the efforts to protect them in the wild.

The adventure doesn't stop there! Get face-to-face with giraffes, zebras, white rhinos, sitatungas, and ostriches. Africa Live! introduces you to hippos, Nile crocodiles lurking in reeds, and vibrant colobus monkeys and dwarf mongooses thriving in lush surroundings. Meanwhile, Wild Australia immerses you in the Outback, where red kangaroos bounce across the grass!

Wander through Asian Forest Home, where giant Komodo dragons and playful gibbons roam while the Reptile House and Amphibia exhibits showcase snakes, turtles, lizards, frogs, salamanders, and caecilians from around the globe. Don't miss Pride Plaza for red-ruffed lemurs and Caribbean flamingos, or the Cat Grotto. From spectacled bears and hyenas in The Grottos to exotic birds in Hixon Bird House and freshwater wonders in Friedrich Aquarium, hundreds of species await to spark curiosity and wonder!
