Make a genuine connection that will last a lifetime as you venture through Animal World & Snake Farm Zoo, where you will experience hands-on encounters with some of your favorite furry, feathery, hairy, and scaly friends. You may even get a chance to hold some of these beautiful animals, if they are up to it, of course. As you stroll through the grounds you’ll see the Clawed Otters, Black Mambas, Blue Headed Macaws, Fennec Foxes, Grey Wolves, Jaguars, Spotted Hyenas, and snakes galore, all unique in their own ways. While you're at it, catch a perfect view of the bison and longhorn as you take a break under the shaded deck. Stop by Two Rivers Mining, Co., the Zoo’s very own gemstone mine for an incredible opportunity to pan for gemstones, fossils, crystals, and shark teeth!

Create unforgettable memories at the family-owned Alamo River RV Resort, where they dedicate their time to making your stay enjoyable. The friendly staff at the ranch and campground is always ready to help you plan your next adventure. You will find a camp store, pool table, fitness equipment, full kitchen, lounge area, private restroom with showers, laundry room, a large fenced-in dog park, and miles of beautiful trails for hiking, mountain biking, or horseback riding.

For a truly unforgettable experience, take your family to Lourdes Grotto & Tepeyac de San Antonio, where the Oblates of Mary Immaculate of the Southern U.S. Province is honored with a perfect replica of the shrine from Lourdes, France. The Grotto resembles the cave where the Blessed Mother appeared to St. Bernadette. Within the Grotto, a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes looks down upon Bernadette kneeling in prayer. Not only is this cave for devotion to the Patroness of the Americas, but the Tepeyac also honors the work of Oblate missionaries among Latino communities in the U.S., Mexico, and beyond.
