San Antonio Zoo named best in Texas for third consecutive year

This week, the annual Texas Travel Awards named the San Antonio Zoo the best in the state for a third consecutive year. The award comes after 12 months of big announcements and the completion of large-scale projects at the zoo. Among those, the facility completely redesigned its main park entrance, dubbed H-E-B Plaza, inspired by the city's unique cultural heritage. The zoo also received several multimillion-dollar donations this year with most of the money going towards its ambitious Congo Falls Project — a new gorilla habitat featuring the world's first 60-foot-tall gorilla tower.
