San Antonio Zoo named nation's third-best in Newsweek reader's poll

The San Antonio Zoo has another accolade to add to its impressive list: Newsweek named it the nation's third-best zoo in the magazine's annual Readers' Choice awards. Finalists for Newsweek's contest are determined by panel of experts at the publication, after which the selections go to a public vote to determine placement, according to the publication. "I am incredibly grateful for the unwavering dedication of our Zoo Crew, whose exceptional care for animals and our community embodies the heart and soul of San Antoni Zoo," San Antonio Zoo CEO and President Tim Morrow said in a statement.
