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!

Tour San Antonio as if you are royalty from the comfort of an open-air carriage with Lollypop Carriage. Rent out the carriages for special occasions, or take a special tour of the city during the holidays.

Experience the beauty as you visit Villa Finale Museum & Gardens, one of the last homes of local preservationist Walter Nold Mathis who revitalized the historic King William neighborhood. Take a self-guided or guided tour, and enjoy a close-up look at the unique art and antique collection. Need to plan a special event? Ville Finale's facade, lush gardens, and river-side location provide a gorgeous backdrop for your wedding, graduation, quinceañera, or other special occasions.
