SAN ANTONIO, Texas – San Antonio Zoo was ranked third for the Best Zoo in the U.S. by Newsweek.
Newsweek released the ranking last month and based it on votes from readers, panelists and contributors.
“I am incredibly grateful for the unwavering dedication of our Zoo Crew, whose exceptional care for animals and our community embodies the heart and soul of San Antonio Zoo,” Tim Morrow, president & CEO of San Antonio Zoo, said in a press release.
The North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro ranked first, followed by the Memphis Zoo in second.
The zoo has won the Best Zoo in Texas award five times within the last six years from the Texas Travel Awards.
In 2023, the zoo’s holiday lights program, Zoo Lights, was also recognized as one of the best in the nation.
“Together, we are shaping a future where wildlife thrives through the conservation and education we pass to our children,” Morrow said in the release.
