SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Zoo is hosting another locals day for Bexar County residents on Saturday, April 22.
Locals can hit up the zoo for just $8 — a steep discount from regular admission prices, which are $35.99 for adults and $31.99 for children ages 3 to 11. Children ages 3 and younger are always free.
If there are multiple people in the party who are trying to get discounted tickets, each person will need to provide proof of Bexar County residency.
Discounted admission tickets can be purchased online.
This weekend guests will get to preview the zoo’s summer attraction, Wild World Records, and as a bonus - TikTok star Jacques Ze Whipper will be on hand for special performances. (He’ll be there Sunday too!)
“Jacques Ze Whipper will delight guests of all ages with a combination of stand-up comedy and whip skills learned over a lifetime of circus performances, winning him four Guinness World Records – most recently for the most bullwhip cracks in one minute,” zoo officials said.
