The best way to enjoy your day is at the San Antonio Zoo, where they bring exotic wildlife from all around the world directly to you. Make your zoo visit an adventure as you get the chance to watch the elephants play, listen to the hyenas laugh, and take in the sights of the lions, tigers, bears, kangaroos, hippos, and flamingos, to name a few. Make sure you stop by the giraffe enclosures and reach up to feed them right out of your hands.
Boot scootin' boogie your way to the Thirsty Horse Dance Hall, a no-cover country-western dance club with live music by up-and-coming bands. Enjoy the mix of classic and modern country songs as you dance or nurse your drink at one of the three bars filled with drink specials you are sure to love. Absorb the great vibes, watch the toy horse races, or join in on a game of pool as you surround yourself with the welcoming company.

Take a stroll and enjoy any of the four self-guided walking tours, the King William Area Walking Tour, Along the Acequia Walking Tour, Along the Acequia Concepción, and Along the Acequia Madre.
