Admission to San Antonio Zoo is $8 on Thursday for locals

SAN ANTONIO – You don’t need an excuse to visit the San Antonio Zoo but if you did - a steep discount on admission is a pretty good reason.

You can head to the zoo for half-off the normal price of admission on Thursday for locals day.

Admission is regularly $17.50 for adults and $14.25 for children ages 3 to 11, but the price will drop to $8 per person on Friday.

San Antonio Zoo frequently hosts locals day events for residents of San Antonio.

The next Locals Day is scheduled for Dec. 14 which is a Monday.

More dates are coming for 2021 but have yet to be announced, according to the zoo’s website.

“The deep discount will allow for even more people to learn how the zoo combines conservation, animal care, and education to secure a future for wildlife,” according to zoo officials.
