Housing more than 3,500 animals representing 750 species from around the globe, winter is one of the most vibrant seasons to visit, as cooler weather encourages big cats, bears, elephants, rhinos, and primates to remain active outdoors throughout the day. Families with infants and toddlers will love Kronkosky's Tiny Tot Nature Spot, a dedicated wonderland designed specifically for kids ages 5 and under with tactile discovery zones, soft climbing mounds, indoor fish tanks, and hands-on mud kitchens. Kids can feed colorful nectar to rainbow lorikeets in Lory Landing, feed giraffes by hand at the Savanna overlook, and ride the historic San Antonio Zoo Train through Brackenridge Park. Wide paved walkways easily accommodate double strollers, and multiple shaded rest pavilions, nursing stations, and family dining options provide a comfortable visit. ## Similar picks in San Antonio - [San Antonio Zoo Autumn Wildlife Encounters & Zoo Train](https://grassyknees.com/san-antonio/activities/san-antonio-zoo-autumn-wildlife-encounters-and-zoo-train--listing-9a1856fb0e6f4aa3f1bd89b4) — Nov 23 – Nov 29 · 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM · San Antonio Zoo · All ages · From $26 · checked Nov 5.
